Retirement Housing Conference 2022 | LaingBuisson | 21 September 2022 | The King's Fund, Cavendish Square, London W1G 0AN, UK

The Retirement Housing sector is seeing unprecedented interest and recognition of the vital role it can play in addressing some of the biggest issues we face in the UK, namely the housing crisis and demographic timebomb of increasing care needs. The Social Care White Paper shows that Government has got the message that “every decision about care is also a decision about housing. We will continue to work across government to explore options to support and incentivise market growth, including ways to give developers greater clarity, investors more confidence and provide consumers with the necessary protections”. Our conference in May will be the ideal opportunity to hear how this increased focus from Government is beginning to play out in practice.

The sector has seen record interest from investors and we will learn what they are looking for. Diversity of offerings increases constantly and we will be unpicking the latest trends, hearing from operators and experts working across all aspects of retirement housing. Housing Associations are also picking up on the demographic trends, with greater certainty over rents and available funding renewing interest after relatively limited new development of affordable homes for those in later life. As ever the need for insight into what customers and potential customers want from our developments is vital so we will be looking forward to the latest research from Promatura.
