As June gives way to July, we’re staying the course with four episodes lined up across the week. With familiar topics taking on new urgency and less-heard voices coming to the fore, we’ll be focusing on what’s changing – and what isn’t – in property, planning, and professional practice. All podcasts are hosted by Gareth Wax – producer, director and chair – in conversation with myself, conveyancing collaborator Hamish McLay.
Property Matters – Tuesday July 1st at 1pm
Stuck on the Market: Why Are Homes Taking Over 200 Days to Sell?
This Tuesday at 1pm on Property Matters, we’re joined by Rowan Waller —known to many as The Property Pen. With two decades in agency and a sharp eye for market trends, Rowan helps us unpack why sales are stalling beyond 200 days and what can still be done to keep chains alive in a sluggish market.
IPSA Kind Of Magic – Wednesday July 2nd at 1pm
Beyond the Bargain: The Real Value of a Proper Search Pack
This Wednesday at 1pm, IPSA Kind of Magic welcomes Sharon Whitney and Bharti Bhuva from Whitefield Legal Services for a frank and timely discussion about price versus value. With rising pressure to supply searches and packs at ever-lower costs, we’re drawing the line. What do you lose when you chase a bargain, and what’s gained when you choose professional expertise? Join us as we explore why IPSA members offer more than just a product – they offer confidence, clarity, and care.
Property Quorum – Thursday July 3rd at 10am
From Approval to Stalemate: The Build-Out Trap

Grenfell on Screen, Councillors in Denial
With the election result still pending, Gareth and Hamish are joined once again by Stephen Day to turn the spotlight back on the Council.
