The Property Edge – March Update Community, Conversations and What’s Next Last week we welcomed over 50 investors, developers and property professionals  to the latest Property Edge event in Farnborough. What continues to stand out at these evenings is the range of people in the room . Investors working on their first projects sit alongside experienced developers, brokers, architects, planners, accountants and other specialists. That mix is exactly what the Property Edge was

February’s Property Edge event felt like more than a date in the calendar. It marked a clear step forward in how we’re shaping the community and what we want The Property Edge to represent going forward.

There’s always something to do: A contractor to chase A project to check on An investor to update Another spreadsheet to fine-tune And because you’re wearing all the hats; director, manager, negotiator, fixer, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that if you stop, everything else will too.
