Torsa is an idyllic Scottish island surrounded by stunning west coast scenery and sheltered sailing waters ➡ http://savi.li/6043lHafh Roughly translated as "Thor's Island", Torsa's name is of Norse origin, with the island steeped in Clan history. It is something of a rarity as a Scottish island, offering the opportunity to own an idyllic island with complete tranquillity that is also readily accessible to the Scottish mainland.

Our UK Global Occupier Services team and Talent Development team have been dedicating their time to environmental conservation efforts including woodland maintenance and wildlife friendly gardening. 🌱 Members of our Global Occupier Services team spent the day volunteering at Grow Wilder in Bristol. As part of the Avon Wildlife Trust, their mission is to inspire people to take action for nature through wildlife gardening and sustainable food growing. The team were educated on how to implement positive changes through wildlife friendly gardening and then put it into action. 🌳 The Talent Development Team had an incredible team day at Oak Hill Wood Nature Reserve in Barnet which dates back to the 11th century, spans over 24 acres. The team volunteered with the Wildlife Trust, tackling the invasive Cherry Laurel and Rhododendron. These non-native species threaten many precious woodlands throughout the UK by overshadowing native flora and trees. By cutting them back, the team helped to preserve the natural beauty and balance of this historic site.

As a result of the high cost of renting in large cities, young adults are living with parents for longer, resulting in a rising number of concealed households. Concealed households can have a large, often underappreciated, effect on demand for housing with knock-on effects for wider economic growth. Greater emphasis must be placed on increased development of all types of residential real estate from both public and private sources in the affected areas Learn more ➡ http://savi.li/6040lyv6y Connor Chilton #RealEstate #WorldResearch

💭 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: £20bn to be invested in operational build to rent schemes over next decade http://savi.li/6044lJQ9n Savills latest report on the UK Build to Rent (BtR) sector has seen £35bn of institutional investment go into the delivery of 100,000 BtR homes over the past decade. However, £300bn is needed to meet the future household growth requirements, of an additional million homes in the Private Rented Sector (PRS) by 2031. Piers de Winton, Head of National Residential Investment & Single Family, Savills Operational Capital Markets, Savills, comments 🗣️ “Although the sector is emerging as mainstream investment in the UK, it still represents just 2% of private rented sector households. When we look at more established markets such as Germany and the USA, where institutions own 41% and 37% of homes respectively, it’s clear that there is significant growth potential of the UK BtR market."
