What’s Next for UK Real Estate?To close this season of Property Perspectives, we zoom out and look ahead. Richard Pickering, Foresight Director at Cushman & Wakefield, joins us to connect the dots across every real estate sector we’ve explored—from residential and industrial to retail and the office.Alongside NatWest hosts Ashley Toy and Tom Sharman, Richard unpacks the megatrends shaping the built environment, including ageing populations, hybrid working, AI-driven supply chains, and the evolving role of cities.Bringing together insights from across the series, this episode explores how UK real estate could fundamentally change over the next 10–20 years—and what that means for investors, occupiers, and communities.
