The London and Dublin stock exchanges are at a critical juncture. Once vibrant hubs of capital formation and economic dynamism, both are now facing a stark decline in primary market activity, such as IPOs.

Risk remains in the sector, but retail assets are certainly rebounding, with a number of large deals recently bolstering confidence.

The real estate fund sector in the UK and Ireland continues to face mounting challenges, closing 2024 with full-year net outflows of £1.155 billion, according to the latest data from Calastone, the largest global funds network. This marks the seventh consecutive year of capital flight from the sector.

The UK and Irish real estate markets underwent a transformative year in 2024, characterised by contraction, mergers, and cautious optimism. After years of declining capital values, signs of recovery began to emerge, buoyed by stabilising inflation and the initial stages of base rate cuts.

Podcasts

PropCast is an award-winning property podcast hosted by Andrew Teacher in association with Property Week. Since 2017, PropCast has interviewed CEOs and senior figures from every major listed and private investor, alongside a multitude of other exceptional guests. No topic is off the table. From finance and AI to development and construction, these unique and unscripted conversations navigate fascinating personal experiences and inspiring professional journeys, with plenty of humour and market insight thrown in for free.

Where does ESG find itself within real estate today, and does it have a future? This type of grand strategy within the sector is what Jon Lovell, co-founder of Hillbreak, is best placed to guide, given his role as one of the first movers and shakers in the industry to recognise the need for bridging the gap between financiers and the narrative-driving sustainability types. This week’s PropCast, with Andrew Teacher and in partnership with Property Week, seeks to engage with the big questions, ranging from the huge risk and opportunity of stranded assets, the looming deadline for 2030 net zero targets, the skills deficit on both sides of the ESG fence and, perhaps most importantly, the profound implications of the Paris Accord’s 1.5°C goal being effectively dead in the water.

Data fuels every aspect of investment, and one company pioneered this change more than any other: IPD. This week’s PropCast, with Andrew Teacher, charts the incredible story of how Rupert Nabarro and the late Ian Cullen laid the groundwork for decades of institutional investment growth when they founded IPD in 1985.
