The Annual Property Update 2025, hosted by Myerson Solicitors, brought together a broad audience of property investors, landlords, developers and legal professionals keen to understand the latest developments in UK property and planning law.
Held in late September, the seminar delivered practical, up-to-date guidance to help clients and referrers navigate the fast-changing legal landscape, reinforcing Myerson’s commitment to providing clear, commercially focused legal insight.
Highlights from the Webinar
The session explored the key legal and market trends shaping the property sector, focusing on legislative changes, planning reforms and significant case law decisions impacting property transactions and development projects.
We were joined by Alyn Nicholls, planning consultant and founder of alynnicholls.com, and Shemuel Sheikh, Barrister from Kings Chambers, who shared expert commentary on the latest developments in the planning regime.
These discussions provided valuable context for property professionals seeking to mitigate risk, maintain compliance, and capitalise on emerging opportunities within an evolving regulatory framework.
