NLA’s Post

NLA Chief Executive, Nick McKeogh Hon FRIBA, shares his reflections following the London Real Estate Forum this week, presenting a case in ten points for a universal land and property tax that could support the good-growth agenda for London. As we seek to find new ways to drive investment into London to deliver the urgent need to decarbonise our built environment, deliver more homes and drive greater prosperity for all, Nick opens the floor for your thoughts as he poses the question 'Could a property tax actually be good for the new government, homeowners, AND the property industry?' #London #RealEstate #Investment

Throwing it back to the #SecretGardenFlat by Nic Howett, winner of the Don't Move, Improve! #HomeOfTheYear in 2023! 🏆 Self-built by the architect and his partner, the project transformed a small, awkward flat behind a shop on Camberwell Road, adding a new bedroom, a secluded garden studio, and shifting the living focus away from the busy road to the peaceful garden. Submit your project to feature in next year's awards as we showcase the best and most innovative home improvement projects across London. Photography by Henry Woide.
