Unsafe, Unsuitable, Unfair: Housing Bias Against Disabilities

This week’s episode looks at how bias plays out when people with disabilities try to access housing and financial services. From difficulties in securing mortgages and insurance to barriers in the private rental sector, the conversation shines a light on a side of the market too often overlooked. Spencer brings his work on improving customer service quality across real estate, banking and insurance, while Wendy Gibson from The First Time Buyers Club adds the perspective of younger buyers trying to get a fair start. Together we’ll consider how awareness and simple changes in practice could reduce unfair treatment and open doors that remain closed for many.

The Devil in the Detail – Why Report Formatting Matters

Behind every property search is a report, and how that report is laid out can make all the difference. Poor formatting often leads to missed information, repeated questions and unnecessary delays. Clear, structured reports, on the other hand, help solicitors and buyers see exactly what they need without wading through clutter. This week’s session looks at why presentation matters as much as content, and how independent search agents often go the extra mile to ensure their reports are practical, user-friendly and tailored to the needs of conveyancers. It’s a reminder that detail isn’t decoration – it’s essential to keeping transactions moving smoothly.

The Two-Speed System: Who Gets Fixed First, and Why?

Some buildings leap ahead while others stall, leaving thousands still living in unsafe homes. The panel will consider how decisions are being made, what residents are being told, and whether funding is reaching the right places quickly enough. Stephen Day returns to reflect the lived experience from Royal Artillery Quays, offering a resident’s voice on a process that often feels painfully uneven.
