You may have been wondering why I have been ‘offline’ recently.  I’ve been preparing from MIPIM 2008.  MIPIM is the world’s leading property exhibition.  Based in Cannes, in the South of France the event attracts 26, 210 participants throughout the week-long event.  I’m here to meet some of the 1,900 participants from the UK property industry to discover more about what’s in store for leasehold property over the next year.  Tomorrow is “Green Day” at MIPIM, so watch out for some inspiring new ideas from the property world as they try to save the environment one brick at a time.  News on the Block has already reported extensively on environmental issues which impact flats.  You can see some of those articles here.  We have also published a whole supplement on the topic, called “The Green House”.  You can read it by clicking here. Also, if you have an innovative idea which can make a positive environmental impact on flats then you should consider entering othe CBG Environmental Challenge.  We are delighted that Vincent Tchenguiz, Chairman of Consensus Business Group is supporting this worthwhile initiative.  Finally, for those green-fingered property people reading this, you may also be interested in Environmental Property News  International , a must-read newsletter all about property and the environment. So, check back regularly as I’ll be bringing you all the latest news and gossip from the residential industry here at MIPIM….
