NEW INSTRUCTIONS
We’ve been busy venturing the highways and byways of the UK during November, securing important new property rental, purchase and architectural instructions.
Interest Rates: What They Mean Now
November’s interest rate decision brought some welcome stability. But what does that mean in real terms for people searching for rental properties or forever homes?

OUT AND ABOUT
November gave us plenty of opportunities to get out into the sector and spend time with the brilliant people we work alongside.
We supported three fantastic charity events — The Gunpowder Ball, JMW’s Eat, Drink and Be Giving Lunch and the WonderLAN Ball, all raising much-needed funds and bringing together a community that genuinely cares.
We also exhibited at the CCM Conference, spending the day speaking with case managers, sharing insights and learning from others doing great work across the field.
And we rounded off the month at The OT Show, where our Director, Andrew Vallis and Head of Architecture delivered a session on future-proofing homes, a discussion that resonated strongly with delegates.
Until Next Time
As we head into December, we want to wish you, your families and the people you support a peaceful and restorative Christmas. We hope you find time to rest, reconnect and enjoy the moments that matter most.
Thank you for being part of our year. We’ll be back in early 2026 with more updates, insights and stories from across PLG.
