E97 Flora Harley

In this episode, Rich sits down with Flora Harley, Head of ESG Research at Knight Frank, to explore how climate risk, regulation, and investment trends are reshaping real estate. The property market is shifting fast. Buildings that don’t meet modern sustainability and efficiency standards are becoming stranded assets, and investors who ignore ESG are falling behind.

With over a decade of experience in global property analysis, Flora specialises in ESG, sustainability, and impact investing, helping investors and developers understand what’s next. She breaks down why obsolescence is accelerating, how the retrofit revolution is changing property values, and what Knight Frank’s latest research reveals about the future of real estate in 2025 and beyond.

The future of real estate isn’t just about buildings—it’s about resilience, regeneration, and understanding where value truly lies. Are you ready?
