Real Insight | Summer 2026
Welcome to the summer 2026 edition of Real Insight, our UK real estate update.
In this edition, we look at the growing trend of "behind-the-meter" energy in the United Kingdom and discuss the recent Datacloud Global Congress. We explore a first in the real estate finance market before commenting on the implications of the recent Hoffman High Court case for term sheets and warranties in real estate private equity transactions. We analyse the ban on upward-only rent reviews in commercial leases, and we review the new rules which will impose greater transparency requirements for land options and pre-emptions. We conclude in the planning world, where we look at the new national scheme of delegation, which is going to limit planning applications being taken to planning committees.
We hope that you enjoy this edition. Have a great summer.
