Build More Homes Summit

Partners Tom Warrender and Jenny Woodruff attended the Inside Housing Build More Homes Summit in London on 2^nd April 2025.

With Tom being a member of our Commercial Property Team that acts for a number of developers and housing associations, and with Jenny heading up our Residential Conveyancing Team, it was important that the two attended this summit as we at Wilson Browne Solicitors are passionate about supporting sustainable housing growth and fostering innovative partnerships.  The summit proved to be a unique opportunity to connect with developers, investors and policy makers, and explore solutions to unlock capital, manage risks and ensure high quality energy efficient housing.

The day comprised a mix of keynote speeches and several informative panel discussions covering everything from:-

1. Unlocking the economic and social value of house building in the UK;
2. Devolution and its impact on housing supply;
3. What should affordable housing grant funding look like?;
4. The role of institutional investors in scaling up delivery;
5. Reforming Section 106 Agreement;
6. Investing in older people’s homes;

There were lots of thought provoking conversations across the day with a recurring theme of collaboration throughout.
