For the final IPSA Kind Of Magic episode of the year, we are taking a step back from individual topics and looking at the bigger picture. On Wednesday 17th December at 1pm, the conversation turns to the foundations laid across 2025 and how those steady building blocks have shaped a year of progress.

Hosted by Gareth Wax, this year-end episode also welcomes Jackie Dyson, Bharti Bhuva, Mahesh Kerai, Michelle Poller, and Ryan Hobson. Together, the panel brings long-standing experience and perspective from across the IPSA community, reflecting on the themes, challenges, and quieter successes that have defined the year.

This episode is less about headlines and more about the work that often goes unnoticed. The judgement, interpretation, and professional care that sit behind good outcomes in search and conveyancing rarely attract attention. Yet these are the elements that keep transactions moving, support conveyancers, and provide confidence to buyers and sellers alike.

Throughout 2025, IPSA Kind Of Magic has consistently returned to the importance of context and local knowledge. As the volume of data continues to grow and the pressure on conveyancing files increases, the role of the experienced search professional has become more visible rather than less. This episode reflects on how those foundations have helped members navigate change while holding firm to quality and standards.

This year has also marked an important milestone for the Association. In 2025, IPSA celebrated its 20th anniversary, a reminder that today’s conversations are built on two decades of experience, learning, and professional development. The anniversary was not simply about looking back, but about recognising the depth of expertise within the membership and the consistency of values that continue to guide the organisation.

Rather than chasing quick fixes, the year has been shaped by steady progress. Discussions have centred on understanding information rather than simply delivering it, supporting conveyancers through clarity rather than volume, and recognising that confidence is built through experience and trust.
This final episode provides space to pause and acknowledge the collective effort across the IPSA membership. Progress has not come from any single initiative, but from shared standards, practical insight, and a willingness to engage openly with change.

Looking ahead forms part of the reflection. While this episode focuses on the year just gone, it also recognises that strong foundations matter most when the landscape continues to evolve. The pressures facing the sector are unlikely to ease quickly, yet the principles that underpin good searching remain consistent.

As always, IPSA Kind Of Magic is shaped by conversation rather than presentation. Comments before, during, and after the episode are welcome, and the discussion remains grounded in real experience.
The episode will be streamed live and recorded for those unable to join on the day. All IPSA Kind Of Magic episodes are available on the Spilling the Proper-Tea YouTube channel:
