S3 Ep5: Home Truths: In conversation with Liz Peace
Episode 5: Follow the money: Liz Peace, former chief executive of the British Property Federation and now senior independent governor at the RICS, is this week’s guest on the Home Truths podcast. Having focused on commercial property during her 13 years at the BPF until 2014, she has since taken up a series of high-profile roles including becoming the chair of the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation, overseeing the delivery of thousands of homes in west London. In today’s podcast she talks about the many housing and planning reviews she has witnessed during her time in the property industry, and how successive governments have failed to tackle the fundamental problems in the housing market. Jackie Sadek and Peter Bill, the podcasts’ co-hosts, ask Liz to explain her proposed financial model that would leverage private finance in order to build more homes that would be genuinely affordable. This was the fifth and final episode of the series, all our previous episodes are available to download. Introduced and edited by Chloe McCulloch, editorial director for Building and Housing Today. Audio production by Tariq Aziz. Home Truths is a Building Talks series produced for Building and Housing Today.
