In this episode of Buildipedia, Mat Wilk, Founder & Director of Ballast Point, sits down with Matt Hayson, Director of CobdenHayson, to unpack what’s really happening in today’s property market. They explore why some homes are flying while others are stuck, how the gap between A-grade and compromised properties is widening, and what buyers are (and aren’t) willing to compromise on right now.
The conversation cuts through headlines to deliver practical insight for homeowners, developers, architects, and buyers - covering market behaviour, return on investment, design decisions that actually add value, and why fundamentals like floor plans, storage, and usability matter more than flashy finishes in an increasingly discerning, two-speed market.
