Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Dunkerley on why Apache Capital is going narrow and deep on rental housing
Q: And why is that important? Why does that matter? Why not just outsource all these things and save a few quid?
Dunkerley believes in-house operations bring passion and capability to the business, can avoid paying a third party's profit, and help create value through effective building operations and relationships with investors.
John Dunkerley on why Apache Capital is going narrow and deep on rental housing
Q: What was your initial thesis with the business that obviously has morphed into what it is now?
After the 2008 financial crisis, Dunkerley saw an opportunity to invest in real estate, but equity was scarce. He used Middle Eastern contacts to attract investors and initially focused on developing high-quality London student accommodation for institutional buyers.
Making co-living institutional with Bywater and Ackroyd Lowrie
Q: Where do you see co-living fitting into the fundable asset class, and what are the key design principles to make it work?
Co-living becomes fundable when it combines strong location, durable amenities, and a proven operational model. The approach emphasized in the white paper focuses on end-user comfort, shared spaces that work efficiently, and a design that supports longer tenancy and lower churn, all underpinned by a robust, scalable operator model.
PropCast: Abri’s Theo Plowman on what comes after the £39bn affordable housing settlement
Q: Why isn't the £39bn funding commitment simply a big cash bag for new homes, and what mechanisms could unlock that money more effectively?
The discussion emphasizes that the money is part of a broader funding ecosystem, needing to work with grant funding, efficiency gains, and innovative financing strategies such as using pension fund investments and reforming shared ownership to recapitalize and accelerate housing delivery.
PropCast: Abri’s Theo Plowman on what comes after the £39bn affordable housing settlement
