WiRP Property Industry Update Webinar Recording Q2-2026

Welcome to the recording of our latest Women in Residential Property webinar. In this session, we looked at what's happening in the property industry, discussed how we can work together to leverage opportunities and tackle challenges for the wider good, and explored how you can personally affect change in your role. Women in Residential Property draws on experience and expertise across the residential report sector, with representation from block management, estate agency, surveying and conveyancing. Expert commentators will provide an update on what is happening in each of these important areas of the market. The updates also provide an opportunity to live and breathe the values and ambitions of Women in Residential Property; collaboration, insight and support. As the saying goes, ‘knowledge is power’… understanding these communities can be a competitive advantage and provide opportunities for greater influence. With thanks to Women in Residential Property sponsors ASAP, and Thomas Carroll Insurance and Risk Advisers for their support.
