As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)

Property Matters: Ireland’s first weekly property radio show and podcast, which launched in January 2019 on Dublin South FM 93.9 and is now available internationally via iTunes and Spotify podcast (www.iPropertyRadio.com), returned earlier this month for a fourth season. The team delivers 60 minutes of industry chat weekly with guests from the areas of planning, construction, property and proptech.

 

This week on #PropertyMatters iPropertyRadio.com we are joined by Graham Murray of Sherry FitzGerald, and Iain Thompson &  Ikenna Nweke of commercial tenant experience platform, Office App, to discuss how technology is changing how we buy, sell, and engage with property in our homes and workplaces.
