2024-01-22 17:30 - 20:00
Dear Member

We are delighted to return once more to the beautiful surroundings of the University Officers’ mess in Carlton Place for the SPA 2024 AGM.

I therefore give formal notice of the 77th Annual General Meeting of Southampton Property Association to be held at 6.30 pm on Monday, 22nd January 2024 at the University of Southampton Officers’ Training Corps building, 32 Carlton Place, Southampton SO15 2DX.

In a departure from the usual programme, proceedings this year will commence with an afternoon CPD seminar from 3.30 pm with Claire Bailey from Savills giving a Commercial Property Update, followed at 4.15 pm with George Long of Charters on the Southampton Census. The customary drinks reception is at 5.30 pm with the AGM at 6.30 pm. Professor Helen Carr of Southampton University will deliver the final CPD talk of the day on the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) at 7.00 pm, and we close proceedings with the declaration of the ballot for the 2024 committee. All timings are of course approximate.

There is no charge to members for the afternoon and evening, but because of the sensitivity of the location members need to advise that they are to attend all or part of the day using the Eventbrite link please. Regrettably, we may be unable to admit those who have not done so, or indeed should the number proposing to attend reach the building’s authorised capacity.
Booking Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/spa-2024-agm-and-cpd-event-tickets-793176721927?aff=oddtdtcreator

A show of hands will be called to vote on the proposal to increase subscriptions by £5 p.a. with effect from 2025, and also a secret ballot for 12 committee places will be held at the AGM and only those members present at the AGM can vote. No proxy votes will be accepted.

A collection for the SPA Benevolent Fund will be made during the evening. The AGM Agenda is enclosed. I do hope you will be able to attend.

Yours sincerely

Construction Workshop with Lester Aldridge
2024-09-18 18:00 - 20:30 | Lester Aldridge, Mountbatten House, 1 Grosvenor Square, Southampton, Select a State or Province:, SO15 2JU, United Kingdom
Following on from the successful case law update earlier this year, Lester Aldridge’s Construction & Engineering team will be hosting a practical round table workshop on Wednesday 18 September 2024 at our new offices at Mountbatten House, Grosvenor Square, Southampton, SO15 2JU from 6.00pm to 8.30pm.
Please join our team for an interactive and instructive evening during which you will explore the travails of Dermot ”Lucky” O’Reilly as he tries to build a dream luxury home.
The workshop will offer practical advice and useful takeaways for developers, consultants, contractors and surveyors who are looking to expand their knowledge of JCT contracts’ provisions and mechanisms, and how to appropriately use these when things go wrong. Attendees will gain key practical tips which can immediately be used in current contract negotiations and live projects.
The format will involve a round table discussion based on fictional scenarios in small groups of 8-10 people – each group being chaired by a Lester Aldridge Construction and Engineering lawyer. The workshop is intended to mimic a “site meeting” with plenty of builder’s tea and grub – save that no finger-pointing is allowed! There will also be an opportunity for attendees to network after the workshop.
Hosted by: Amy Lewis, Rachel Gimson, Estelle Boullet & Stephen Rockhill
There is no cost for this workshop. Free drinks and nibbles will be provided.

You're Invited to SPA Friday Frolics: Hosted by Omega RE! Friday Frolics at Mama’s Kitchen - Southampton Property Association
2024-09-27 13:00 - 15:00 | Mama’s Kitchen, 144 Above Bar Street, Southampton, SO14 7DU
We are thrilled to announce that Omega RE is hosting this month’s SPA Friday Frolics on Friday, 27th September, and we would love for you to join us at Mamas Kitchen in Guildhall Square, Southampton for an afternoon of delicious Thai Street Food and good company!
For the past four years, we’ve been on an incredible journey to revolutionise how commercial real estate is done. From achieving B Corp status to opening a restaurant, we’ve hit some exciting milestones along the way. Now, we want to celebrate these successes with you and share more about who we are, what we stand for, and where we’re headed next.
Let’s Talk About Us…
Who are we? Let’s start by telling you who we aren’t.

The bad news? If you want cookie-cutter commercial real estate, you’re in the wrong place.
The good news? If you’re looking for above-and-beyond personal service from a passionate team that constantly questions the norm, then you’re right where you need to be.

We’re Omega RE – not your typical real estate professionals. Think of us as your creative guides through the often complex world of commercial property. If we were an ice cream, we’d be any flavour but vanilla.
Our team is made up of innovators from diverse backgrounds, which allows us to approach every project with fresh eyes and fresh ideas. We wear many hats: thought leaders, event organisers, and experimenters, but no matter what, we always deliver and go beyond expectations.
As a client, you’re at the core of everything we do. Whether you’re looking to grow your portfolio across the uk or relocate your office, industrial, warehouse, or retail space, we’ll ensure you get the best results—without cutting corners or taking shortcuts. That’s our promise.
So, come join us on the 27th for a Chang Beer and some Thai Street Food.
We can’t wait to see you there!
Warm regards,
