PM Forum

Remit Consulting hosts a quarterly Property Managers forum, a space for property management firms to come together and have a discussion on topics that have been affecting them. The topics are generally proposed by the invitees, as often they want to know how others in the industry are dealing with, for example, changes in legislation. The forum generally lasts for an hour and, dependent upon the topic, might have a guest speaker to provide background for the later discussion. The invitees take turns in hosting, as that gives them first choice on what topic they would like to discuss and gives them an opportunity to exhibit their offices.

The ability for the property managers to get together and be able to discuss issues within the industry under Chatham House rules allows all invitees and the industry to benefit by having a more coordinated approach to dealing with new circumstances.

At the most recent Property Managers forum, hosted by MAPP, we had two experts from Barclays come in to discuss issues the PMs had been facing surrounding client monies and Know Your Client checks that were being brought in. This helped clarify some detailed terminology, allowing the managers to discuss strategies for dealing with the new regulations. We had another expert come in from EVORA, who raised the ever-important point of ESG, but particularly looking to how and why people invest in properties that rate highly in their ESG metrics. This highlighted some concerns as to how some metrics were measured but also called attention to the growing desire for a greener built environment.
