Disabled residents often face lengthy battles with councils over home adaptations and accessibility improvements.

Beyond the CON29R – Why Detail Still Matters

The CON29R is the required part of a Local Authority Search, covering everything from planning decisions to road proposals. Yet what many overlook is the importance of detail — not just what’s included, but how it’s interpreted and explained. This week’s IPSA Kind of Magic will look at why the small print still matters, how local expertise adds value, and why conveyancers need more than just a tick-box answer.

Thursday 18th September – Property Quorum at 10am
Renters’ Rights Bill – What’s Coming and When

The much-anticipated Renters’ Rights Bill is beginning to reshape the private rented sector, yet the details of its rollout are still unfolding.

Juliet Baboolal, experienced property lawyer and partner at gunnercooke, and Chris Gilsenan, developer and investor at Root Home, will be joining the discussion.

Flat buyers often discover too late that their homes are riddled with defects – with little recourse once the keys are handed over. From weak regulatory oversight to poor accountability in construction, the risks fall squarely on the shoulders of consumers. We are fortunate to be joined this week by The Earl of Lytton, whose insight on building safety and resident protection will help us probe the way forward.
