  • We are pleased to share British Property Federation's latest Spotlight Interview with Saminder (Sammy) Pahal as part of their spotlight series highlighting our fantastic team! Sammy delves into the PropTech sector, highlighting the areas experiencing the greatest impact, as well as discussing our newly established Innovation Leaders Forum! Take a look 👇

    This week, our BPF Spotlight delves into the fascinating world of #PropTech. We speak with UK PropTech Association (UKPA) Director Saminder (Sammy) Pahal to find out more about the sector and how it could transform our industry. Here's what she had to say: ❓How do you define the PropTech sector? 🗣️There're many definitions of PropTech, but, to me, PropTech describes technology products and solutions that aim to improve or transform any part of the property lifecycle. PropTech can also enable companies working within the property industry to become more efficient, informed and provide more value to stakeholders or customers. ❓The possibilities sound limitless, where are we seeing PropTech have the biggest impact? 🗣️The results of our recent Tech & Innovation survey revealed the areas the industry see PropTech having the biggest impact are improved decision making, improved building operations, and reduced carbon emissions. That said, there’s a huge amount of progress being made in other areas of the property lifecycle including digitising property transactions, tenant enquires and repairs, and tackling embodied carbon. We’re also seeing the need to de-risk existing portfolios and new investment decisions as a huge driver for PropTech adoption. ❓What should we look out for in the future? 🗣️AI is rapidly improving and is set to completely transform our lives at home and work - the impact on the property industry is no different. Although, our recent debate event highlighted that we have a lot to do to be able to realise the full potential of AI. I’d like to say that we might see solutions to tackle access to data which has been an ongoing issue and barrier to technology adoption and is key to decarbonising our properties as well. ❓How can property companies explore how technology can help them? 🗣️There are lots of industry conferences and events where you can really get to grips with the role that PropTech can play so I would encourage attending those. In our joint programme for UKPA and BPF members, we aim to educate and demonstrate how PropTech's being used and the value that’s being achieved through case studies. We’ve also set up an Innovation Leaders Forum to give those responsible for procuring PropTech a space to learn and knowledge-share. ❓As the voice of the UK's PropTech sector, what are the UKPA's key activities? 🗣️We typically host roundtables, debates, talks and networking events to connect members from across UKPA and the BPF, with an aim to break down barriers to adopting technology, ensure we’re tackling the most critical problems and building the right solutions to achieve real outcomes. Additionally, we work with Government to represent our members and ensure we have the right environment for the PropTech sector to thrive. Each year we also host the UK PropTech Awards to celebrate the progress that’s been made and recognise those across the ecosystem, including property professions who are championing change.

  • 💡We kicked off our second Transformative Technologies Techfast yesterday where we looked at the “The Future of Places with IoT : Opportunities, Challenges and the Role of 4G/5G Connectivity”. Thank you to our members Ryan Yates- Facilio, Bastiaan Koekkoek - Equiem and Mikael Lundman - Proptivity for sharing their fantastic insights and case studies. A massive thank you to Catherine Williams and Addleshaw Goddard for hosting us and putting on a lovely breakfast spread. Key Takeaways :   ✔️ IoT solutions are pivotal in helping real estate stakeholders meet their ESG objectives, particularly around energy consumption and operational carbon reduction.   ✔️ Many older buildings still operate with older systems that lack the flexibility needed to integrate IoT solutions, limiting potential efficiencies. Additionally, capital expenditures for retrofitting smart technologies are a key consideration for landlords, who need to balance factors such as tenant demand, budget availability, and the age of the building.   ✔️ Mobile connectivity, both through 4G and 5G, is becoming a crucial amenity for tenants. Buildings with poor indoor mobile coverage frustrate tenants and hinder productivity, particularly in a business environment.   ✔️ Embracing new technologies is increasingly seen as a valuable asset for property management companies. Those that actively integrate PropTech solutions, such as IoT systems and data platforms, are positioning themselves to better meet the needs of property owners and occupiers, enhancing both building management and tenant services.   ✔️ Leveraging IoT data can help reduce void rates by providing valuable insights into space utilisation and tenant behavior. Thank you to everyone that attended and contributed to the discussion!
