Join Hanif Khan, Amaar Ahmad & Sabah Ahmad for Monday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Housing Shortage' and ‘Should women submit to men?' Housing Shortages With taxes rising and the cost of living soaring, many in the UK face an ongoing housing crisis. Despite promises to build 1.5 million homes, little progress has been made. Join us as we uncover the root causes, explore practical solutions, and call for urgent action. Going beyond politics, we offer a fresh, values-based perspective—drawing on Islamic principles—to reimagine a fairer, more ethical housing system. Should women submit to men Trump's spiritual advisor Paula White-Cain recently claimed women should submit to their husbands. Join us as we explore gender roles in Islam— where submission is to God alone, but within that, a divinely guided system fosters balance, mutual respect, and a peaceful family and social life.

Rent pressure zones, cabins in gardens and the appointment of a “maverick” to kick open doors' - can this government resolve the housing crisis once and for all? Host: Tabitha Monahan Guests: Rory Hearne, Gabija Gataveckaite and Niamh HoranSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most of my episodes on renting have been somewhat depressing. This conversation with Ben Twomey wasn't. That's because Labour have introduced a Renters Rights Bill which - though far from perfect - could do a lot to limit the insecurity currently experienced by private renters in Britain. Ben explained what's in the bill, what's missing, and what campaigners can do to encourage this Labour government to go further for renters.Guest: Ben Twomey, Generation Rent Hosted on Acast.

Send us a Text Message.Matthew Pennycook: New Principal Housing MinisterLabour MP Matthew Pennycook has been appointed as the principal housing minister. He was previously the shadow Housing Minister. One of his early tasks will be proposing Labour's version of the renter's reform bill. Upon his appointment, he tweeted, "It is a real honor to have been appointed Minister of State at the Department of Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities. Tackling the housing crisis and boosting economic growth is integral to national renewal. Time to get to work.Generation Rent's Dan Wilson Craw congratulated him and expressed eagerness to work together on tenancy reform. Pennycook, who is MP for Greenwich and Woolwich, previously worked at the Resolution Foundation and was an aide to housing expert Karen Buck. The UK must urgently add 120,000 new rental homes to address soaring rents, with the latest data showing average rents outside London at an all-time high of £1,316 per month, and London rents averaging £2,652 per month. Tim Bannister from Rightmove emphasized the need for expedited house building and landlord investment.Labour's Housing Policy: Potential Impact and StrategiesLabour's proposed policies will impact first-time buyers, homeowners, and landlords. First-time buyers currently enjoy a stamp duty relief on properties up to £425,000, which Labour plans to reduce to £300,000. Labour might increase capital gains tax for landlords, potentially reducing allowances or increasing rates. With mortgage rates expected to trickle down, consider locking in a deal now but be prepared to switch if rates fall further. Labour plans to build 1.5 million new homes over five years, potentially affecting house prices.Sustainability in Real Estate: Green Technology InnovationsThe real estate industry is transforming due to the demand for sustainability.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic, Rory talks to Jenny Roche, who, with her family, is facing eviction from their home in Galway. Jenny is a lecturer in film in NUI Galway and has been living in her rental home for 19 years. She tells her housing story of living in fear, anxiety, the impact on her child, and how she is overholding because there is no where to go and she refuses to be evicted into hidden homelessness. This is the tsunami of evictions we've warned about and with almost 19,000 notices to quit served to tenants in 2023, the Government must re-instate the eviction ban, make the tenant in situ scheme work, and stop evictions into homelessness. As Jenny says, renters need to come together and take action. Please email the Minister for Housing Darragh O Brien and Galway County Council calling on them to keep Jenny and her family in their home. Join CATU - the tenants union.

Renting in New Zealand today is more difficult than a decade ago, with fewer properties available, rents continuing to increase, and the quality of rental properties not much better, Shamubeel Eaqub says. However, the economist and co-author of the 2015 book Generation Rent, rethinking New Zealand's priorities, says it's not all bad news.Speaking in the latest episode of interest.co.nz's Of Interest podcast, Eaqub says the "lived reality of renting" has got harder over the past decade, but the regulatory settings are slowly improving."We need to ensure there's sufficient renters' rights ... because in New Zealand renting is so insecure and is such a problematic thing for so many people."One area giving Eaqub optimism is the rise of build to rent, where landlords must offer 10-year rental tenancy agreements."I've been a long time fan of institutional landlords rather than accidental landlords. When you are in the business of land lording, you want to have as little turnover as possible, whereas if you're an accidental landlord, you are much more interested in having quick turnover and being able to sell it off and all those other bits and pieces. The tenant is kind of incidental to the story and a bit of an annoyance, really."Eaqub says build to rent offers two types of security; tenure security and financial security."Because more often than not [build to rent] will come with contracts that will have a known level of [rental] increase for the next, say three years, so you can plan your finances. Whereas in a normal tenancy you have only certainty for 12 months and then you don't know what will happen next."Build to rent is adding new housing supply targeted for one particular use, which he says is unusual in NZ."If you look at what happens in New Zealand, or how it has generally happened in New Zealand in the past, it's the idea of filtering, right? You build houses which are for new homes and for rich people, and then the older homes that are secondhand, that kind of gets recycled into the rental market.""So I'm very encouraged to see this new supply that's coming in, that's very much targeted towards renting specifically. Because if you think about the pressures that we see in terms of emergency housing, social housing and all those kinds of things, that's happening because people are falling out of the rental market, because the rental market is short supplied and is very expensive. And so the more we can do to get more supply directly and retained in the rental market, the better it is," Eaqub says.He also talks about his disappointment at the fracturing of the Labour-National consensus on medium density residential standards (MDRS)."[The consensus] showed me for the first time the grown-up-ness of the way that our politicians can respond to structural problems, that we can put aside our political differences and just do something because it's the right thing to do, not because you're on one side of the House or the other. But that grown up moment of politics lasted very, very briefly, and we threw it away at the first chance when the election campaign started," Eaqub says.In the podcast Eaqub also talks about NIMBYS, the construction sector, what's driving rents, problems with local government, his views on rent controls, the accommodation supplement, emergency housing, what the rental market may be like for his kids' generation, and more.*You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.

With ever-increasing house prices across the country far outstripping the rate at which earnings are rising, millions of young people are now being forced to either live at home with their parents, or pay extortionate rent in a market where landlords have all the power.

Kev gives his thoughts on the current report put out by the Renters Reform Coalition. He discusses their claims that landlords are responsible for the shortage of housing and talks about how the government could actually help solve the housing crisis instead. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Many landlords wouldn't have benefitted from the rises between the 1990s and now. You can't compare the value of a house in the 90s to now, it's not comparable. The government are responsible for building council homes, not landlords. Help to buy isn't a good solution for the housing crisis, it benefits developers and helps them sell whilst putting buyers in more debt. Landlords have no choice but to put the rents up, this is an economic issue caused by the government, it's inflation. There are many properties out there that could be put back into use, providing new homes for people but also jobs as they are refurbished. BEST MOMENTS   “All homeowners have had their values go up too, it's a bit one-sided” “Are landlords responsible for the housing crisis?” “Help to buy is not the answer” “If that property value goes up, they hit you going out the door with your inheritance tax, the death tax” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

London's renting crisis isn't going away anytime soon. Figures show that annual rent growth has risen by 20% in the capital, the shortage of affordable rental accommodation is increasing, and the lack of protection for private tenants means the Renters' Reform Bill can't come quickly enough. Prudence Ivey, the Evening Standard's Homes & Property Editor, explains the current issues and trends in the London rental market.In part two, Conor O'Shea from Generation Rent, a campaign group led by and for private renters in the UK, reveals what happened when they sat down with Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Michael Gove, to discuss the Renters' Reform Bill.

Please support this podcast at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic, part of the special series on Budget 2023, Rory talks to Louise Bayliss of Focus Ireland, Ann Marie O Reilly from Threshold and Colette Bennet from Social Justice Ireland about what the Government should do to address the homelessness, renters and housing crisis in the Budget. The panel outline the key measures including a ban on evictions, even on a temporary basis, tax relief for renters, investing in prevention of homelessness (currently we spend 20 times the budget on emergency accommodation than on prevention), raising baseline HAP rates up to market rents, as they have not increased since 2016, a rent arrears fund to support those in arrears, an increase by €1.4bn in the capital building budget for social housing. We also debate the potential effectiveness of tax breaks for landlords, the need for targeted ones linked to sale of property to AHBs and Local authorities. And finally for funding to be allocated to hold the referendum to put a right to housing in the Constitution.

In 2015 when he and his wife Selena published Generation Rent Rethinking New Zealand's Priorities, economist Shamubeel Eaqub admits he was pessimistic about the housing market. That has now changed. Speaking in interest.co.nz's Of Interest Podcast, Eaqub, now of economic consultancy Sense Partners, explains why he's now optimistic about the housing market."I think there is a consensus across the political spectrum that there is a problem, and now we're fighting about what the solutions are. To me that's a really optimistic place to be when it comes to the housing market," Eaqub says."We've seen changes in the Auckland Unitary Plan which has led to significant increase in supply, diversity of types of supply in terms of more medium density [housing], high density, places that are infills, places that are greenfield. So we're seeing really good progress. We've seen changes in the Residential Tenancies Act, it's not perfect but it's heading in the right direction. Recently we saw an announcement for build to rent. Again it's not perfect, [but is] heading in the right direction. We're building more state houses, [which is] very, very good because we have a massive wait list of over 25,000 households that are waiting for social housing.""So I think we are heading in the right direction in that the balance has moved from apathy towards action, and we are arguing about what are the best solutions," Eaqub says.In the podcast he also talks about why a land tax - a "pseudo wealth tax" - is top of his housing market wish list, the psychology of the housing market, pressure on the Reserve Bank after it "misdiagnosed the [Covid-19] problem and flooded the housing market with money with predictable results," and perhaps what it should've done, outdated thinking in the public service, the needs of renters and requirements for affordable housing, consenting, the current difficulties for borrowers in attracting mortgages and how and when this might change, and much more.

For many Kiwis, home ownership is out of reach, with the wealth gap between homeowners and everyone else continually getting bigger. But all is not lost. In this episode, we talk to two organisations at the forefront of keeping home ownership dreams alive through progressive home ownership models. The community housing sector has a long history of delivering progressive home ownership and you'll hear from two leaders in the sector, Habitat for Humanity New Zealand's Alan Thorpe and Julie Scott from Queenstown Lake Community Housing Trust. We cover: - the history of progressive home ownership in Aotearoa - the $400M Progressive Home Ownership Fund - the benefits to families of working with a community housing provider And more!

Remember when they chanted "Forty acres and a mule!" No, you probably don't and more importantly, why would you care? A large chunk of the American Dream is owning your own home. Join the guys as they try to figure out if there is any value in owning your own home or if being part of "Generation Rent" is a better option!

What is it, and what can you do with it, are just two of the questions Ian answers. As always, Ian's had many questions land on his desk. This week on Property on Fire, he answers one for Julie, and another for Chloe about what to do when an ex-tenant leaves furniture behind in a rental. ________ A regular podcast from your host Ian Walmsley. Join him every week for a dynamic podcast with Ian and his guests on how to seize the opportunities out there before others do!  You will learn about planning from a developer's eye, you will benefit and learn together from the mistakes that Ian makes. He is very grateful for the opportunities that he has had and would love to share these with you. ________ ABOUT THE HOST Ian Walmsley  is a third-generation experienced developer who loves Planning. Referred to as a ‘Walking Encyclopaedia' by a mentor he developed a passion for planning in 2015 having got fed up with inaccurate information on some websites as to what was possible with property or land that he was looking to develop. In 2017 he set up the site ‘Planning Geek‘ as a way to inform others as to the possibilities of using permitted development rights on both domestic and commercial property. This has now grown to cover many other aspects of planning, giving plenty of ‘wow' moments. To the best of our knowledge, It is now the largest planning website in the UK, apart from the national planning portal. He now speaks around the UK at both property meets and with mentorship groups as a developer/planning geek. As a developer with his company, Leading Homes, he has 40 dwellings under construction with a further 50 plus in legals or pre-construction. The one thing he is not is a Planning Consultant – he is a Planning Geek – although a chartered town planner said ‘Ian knows more about planning than most planners!'. He is simply ‘A developer who loves planning'. As a result he has nothing to sell from his talks, which is always a refreshing change!   CONTACT METHOD Podcast website: https://propertyonfire.co.uk/ (https://PropertyonFire.co.uk) Podcast email: ian@propertyonfire.co.uk Ian's official website: https://ianwalmsley.com/ (https://IanWalmsley.com/) Facebook: https://facebook.com/Ian.C.Walmsley (https://facebook.com/Ian.C.Walmsley) LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/iancwalmsley/ (https://linkedin.com/in/iancwalmsley/) Leading Homes: https://lleadinghomes.co.uk/ (https://LeadingHomes.co.uk) Planning Geek: https://planninggeek.co.uk/ (https://PlanningGeek.co.uk) Planning Geek Facebook Community: https://facebook.com/groups/planninggeek (https://facebook.com/groups/planninggeek) DISCLAIMER The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast belong solely to the hosts and guest speakers.

In this crossover Reboot Republic and Echo Chamber podcast, Rory and Martin dissect the Budget to see what impact it is likely to have. Rory explains how the Budget is a budget for the investor funds, developers and landlords and ignored Generation Rent. It failed to implement measures to tackle the investor funds or rents or borrow and build state affordable housing on a major scale. Martin also discusses the pensions and the question of what is the purpose of the economy? Is it for society or simply to use us all as economic units. Rory points out that people have reached their limit with the housing crisis and its time for citizens to take action. There's also a mention of Paw Patrol.

This Reboot Republic podcast discusses the problems with the Build-to-Rent developments being proposed and developed in Ireland by global investment funds. This podcast is about the future of this city and country- it is about what type of homes are being built for Generation Rent and how global real estate investment funds are turning homes into profit maximising commodities. Rory talks to architects Rob Curley & Alfonso Bonilla about what are the issues with the proposed build-to-rent development by real estate fund Hines for Drumcondra in Dublin. They explain the problems with the design - the lack of liveable units, the absence of units to buy, and the conversion of housing into assets - asset urbanism. They also explain how you can make an observation to An Bord Pleanala - on the development (see HERE for how to do it) talk about Hines' attempt to silence Rory, and we read out your proposed alternative names for vulture funds.

Journalist Vicky Spratt is the i Paper's housing correspondent as well as an editor at Refinery29 UK, and has been reporting on the UK's housing crisis for a number of years. In 2016 she created a successful campaign, Make Renting Fair, designed to highlight the plight of ‘Generation Rent', and which resulted in the government announcing a ban on letting agency fees for tenants. Her forthcoming book Tenants will be published next year, and is set to be the most comprehensive look at the human impact of the housing crisis yet. On this episode, Vicky carefully explains why the UK's housing market is so messed up before going on to demystify the pros and cons of some of the schemes frequently advertised as the best way for first time buyers to get onto the property ladder, including shared ownership and Help To Buy – the latter of which was Vicky's own route into homeownership. We also discussed the more emotional side of how housing insecurity affects people, and the consequences of the UK's cultural obsession with homeownership, as well as class and social mobility, in particular Vicky's experiences of disguising her own class background to fit in while she was studying at Oxford.   Find Vicky on Twitter (@Victoria_Spratt) and Instagram (@vicky.spratt) Read Vicky's article on Help To Buy for Tortoise https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2019/08/20/help-to-buy-190820/ Pre-order Vicky's forthcoming book Tenants: The People on the Frontline of Britain's Housing Crisis (2022) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tenants-People-Frontline-Britains-Housing/dp/1788161270   We Need To Talk About Money is published by 4th Estate and available to buy now in hardback, eBook and audio, with signed copies available from Waterstones.com.
