Preethi Sundaram

Preethi was born in Leicester to a Tamil family and studied urban planning at University College London before moving into property journalism. She spent four years at a commercial real estate consultancy writing market reports before deciding she preferred telling the human stories behind the numbers. Her work covers residential and commercial property, housing policy and the built environment — how cities change, who gets left behind and what development actually means for the people living through it. She writes with precision and a genuine interest in the structural forces shaping where and how people live and work. She is based in North London and is currently renovating a Victorian terrace with characteristic optimism.
