Podcasts about lettings

Officials have warned that a failure to regulate short term-lettings could lead to protests over tourism. To discuss further with Pat was Conor Sheehan, Labour TD for Housing.

The latest episode of the Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast he explores the truth behind the buy-to-let market and exactly why he is getting out of buy-to-let after 30 years. Please like and subscribe - https://www.youtube.com/@charleskellymoneytipspodca9121 Brief history of the buy to Let market Watch video - https://youtu.be/Vy6NTf38uR8 My story of finding a rental property before BTL and pre-ASTs - It was worse than now. No council house building since the 1970s and the introduction of right to buyThe BTL model has worked well since the 1990’s.Properties were relatively cheapReturns were good, even with higher mortgage ratesWith higher interest rates so you could just about break-even, but enjoy fast capital growth Now the government thinks the pendulum swung too far in favour of landlords. Tenants are unhappy about high rents and insecurity. But is that the fault of landlords or a symptom of 50 years of short-term thinking government policy?The buy-to-let boom has led to a massive transfer of wealth into property, as well as the banks, and it seems the ‘powers that be’ want to apply the brakes with legislation and taxes, We are now living in a new socialist regime after 30 years of relatively business friendly government, which includes the Blair labour government. My personal experience30 years dealing with tenants - nothing against tenants, I just haven’t got the patience for it anymore!New threats from various BPU’s (business prevention units)Lack of social housing being built for 50 yearsMass immigration from all governments since the Blair years leading to an unprecedented population explosion Swinging from unrestrictive to tighter lendingPlanning hold-ups leading to housing shortageAnti-landlord policy starting with Conservative Chancellor George Osbourne and his Section 24 landlord taxRenters rights bill, which was born out of a conservative policyEnd of section 21 no fault of evictions and a ban on so-called “back door” evictionsOpen end of tenancies – how is that going to work in practice?New minimum housing standards and more red tape - many councils and large housing associations would fail these standards but only private landlords will be hitBan on Advanced rent payments, often used where tenants fail referencing or are from overseas. Even more rights for tenants Less security for property ownersBan “discrimination” Right to request adaptation of Properties in the case of disabilitiesRestrictions on rent increasesRent repayment ordersMore powers for local councils to sanction landlordsNew digital Landlord database, but no rouge tenant database County court backlogs, meaning that enforced evictions will take up to a year Renters rights was mentioned in parliament recently during PM’s questions after a labour MP raised the point that tenants were being priced out by landlords. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said that his new renter’s rights bill will help 11 million tenants. He said they will end no fault of action something which the Conservatives had failed to do. . Landlords could be obliged to take pets and tenants on benefits Over the past year, only 6.6% of room-offered ads on SpareRoom explicitly welcomed pets, while a striking 93.4% did not. One third of people in the UK have pets and 29% own a cat. On a Spare room survey 93% of landlords display that they are unwilling to accept pets, this will be banned under the future law. If a tenant wants to keep a pet at home, landlords will not be able to unreasonably withhold their consent. If a tenant feels you’ve made an unfair decision they can challenge it by taking their complaint to the Private Rented Sector Ombudsman or even to court. Falling returns Soaring house prices means it’s difficult to get a positive yield on straightforward buy-to-let propertyLandlords have turned to HMO strategies, but local authorities are introducing more article 4 areas.The yields on properties in London and the Southeast have been driven down by high prices. Landlords are increasingly buying in the Midlands and the north of England, but who wants to drive 300 miles to find and manage property? Many have adapted and move into furnished Holiday lettings in order to avoid section 24 and the end of section 21 notices, but now the BPU are heading them off at the pass! Tax changes abolishing the advantages of furnished holiday Lettings , brought in by Jeremy “Hunt” the left leaning former Chancellor under the last ‘high tax’ conservative government. I know some landlord I’ve spoken to are happy to stay in the market and feel that they can adapt to the new laws. That’s fine there’s still a profit (sorry if that’s a dirty word, but without profit there is no service) to be made and in a long-term it’s still a good investment, but not for me and thousands of other landlords anymore. As the TV Dragons say, I’m out! Am I quitting property altogether? No! Property is still a good long-term investment and will survive the idiots that run the country downwards because the markets and demand will prevail. Despite warnings of our demise, the UK will also survive the fools in power.

Why Estate Agents Are Missing Out on Lettings, And How You Can Capitalise! If you're an estate agent who's still avoiding lettings, you could be overlooking a massive opportunity. In this episode, expert Toby Martin explains why estate agents should expand into lettings and how it can unlock valuable new revenue streams for your business. Toby highlights how a lettings arm isn't just about diversifying your income. It's about creating a full service experience for your clients. Tenants can become landlords, and landlords can become buyers or sellers. If you're not offering lettings, those opportunities are likely going to your competitors. But the biggest advantage of all? Lettings is key to building a business you can sell. The value is in your lettings book, and Toby explains why this can be your exit strategy when it's time to cash out and retire. He also touches on the guaranteed monthly income lettings bring, offering stability that lets you stay competitive with sales fees, even when the market is quieter. Want to know where to begin? Toby shares tips on training and qualifications, plus how he helps businesses with his fractional lettings director services. Don't miss out, listen now.

Carrie Allison, UK Lettings Director for Hunters (the 4th largest UK Estate Agency brand) dropped by the Watkinsofa in the Spring of 2024 to chat about all things Estate & Letting Agency

In this episode, Mark Morton discusses recent changes to furnished holiday lets and the Allocation of Tips Act.For more information on this topic and more, please visit www.mercia-group.com for further details.

An MEP for this region fears proposed legislation aimed at curbing the number of short-term lets in the market will result in more vacant properties. The Short-Term Letting Bill would require accommodation providers looking to make their properties available for 21 days or less to seek special planning permission and register with Fáilte Ireland. The Irish Self-Catering Federation is seeking a derogation within the legislation allowing existing short-term let providers to continue operating. Ireland South Fianna Fáil MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú says although the bill is well-intentioned, it won't necessarily lead to increased supply in the private housing market.

The latest office market report by BNP Paribas Real Estate Ireland has shown a strong rebound in Dublin office lettings, but supply surge is still driving vacancy higher. Speaking to Emmet this morning was John McCartney, Director of Research BNP Paribas Real Estate to chat about the report findings.

Today's guest is director of the multi award-winning Peter Morgan Group and has 20 years of experience in the property industry. With a Sales, Lettings and Exclusive brand, the property group sells and manages hundreds of properties across South Wales each year. His role in the company has involved transforming it from a traditional estate agency to a modern, forward-thinking brand by identifying and harnessing a niche in social media and bringing creative video content to the forefront. These efforts, along with his hard-working team, have led to the business winning several industry awards including ‘Wales Sales & Lettings' winner in The Guild of Property Professional awards for 2021 & 2022 and ‘Best Estate Agency in Wales' at The ESTAs awards for 2021 & 2022. With his background in property, he has also set up his own property company expanding a personal lettings portfolio quickly. Outside of business, he has also raised a substantial amount for his chosen charity, Prostate Cymru, by organising and attending cycling challenges to raise vital charity funds. He also donates his time to an industry charity, AgentsTogether, by supporting the mental health and skills of property professionals throughout the UK. If you're looking to hear from someone who will say it as it is and give you inspiration to achieve your goals, look no further than this inspiring conversation.

Today's episode is very pertinent to the current times. With a snap election just called, and disarray over the Renters Reform Bill (now that it has been shelved) there's a lot of uncertainty around. What if we get a labour government? What will their stance be on tenants and landlords? Will the Conservatives make another stab at a RRB if they win? My partner to discuss all of these issues is Suzanne Smith - a lawyer turned self-managing landlord with a portfolio of houses in Maidstone, Kent. She came to property investing fairly late when she “retired” as a corporate lawyer at the age of 51, after working for 25 years in senior in-house legal roles for multinational biotech companies. Suzanne started to share what she was learning as a landlord on her Instagram account, @indie_landlord, with practical reels that also drew on her experience and training as a lawyer. This led to her setting up her blog, The Independent Landlord, in August 2022, which provides reliable, free content on all aspects of being a landlord. It's grown to be one of the biggest blogs for landlords, with almost 20,000 click throughs on Google each month, and thousands of subscribers to her weekly newsletter. She co-hosts a new weekly podcast called Good Landlording with Richard Jackson, a landlord with a large portfolio who runs the property management software, Alphaletz. Suzanne is also an independent member of Propertymark's disciplinary tribunal.

The Renters (Reform) Bill continues to make its way through parliament. We highlight what landlords need to know, with Andrew Culverwell, Lettings Technical Director for the Connells Group. 

Rob looks into the crucial topic of choosing the right lettings agent for managing rental properties. He discusses the two main ways to manage a property portfolio: self-management or working with a lettings agent. He also provides valuable insights on finding a local lettings agent with good knowledge and reputation, emphasising the importance of building a strong relationship with the agent.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Choosing the right lettings agent involves deciding between self-management or working with a lettings agent. It is ideal to find a local lettings agent with good knowledge and reputation in the area where the property is located. When selecting a lettings agent, consider factors such as proximity to the property, independence vs. national chain affiliation, and reviews from both landlords and tenants. Avoid haggling too much on lettings agent fees as quality of service often correlates with the fee. Prioritise finding the right tenant for the property over simply aiming for the highest rent, as a good tenant can be invaluable in the long run. BEST MOMENTS "Knowledge is power. That is what you're looking for. You are ideally looking for a local lettings agent Hopefully that's been around for a little while, they know the area, they know the streets, like the back of their hand, perfect." "A property is a relationship. Business, it's a people business. Working with the right people is key." "Don't haggle too much on the lettings agent fee, you get what you pay for." "Ultimately, at the end of the day, you then just go with gut instinct, you have to go if you got instinct, we can say, not fair for us to mention names, we're not going to do that."

Juli and Chris Poulton started their Martin & Co franchise in Sunderland in 2014. With 7 children and a successful Agency, they discussed all things Estate Agency and life with me. In this interview, they talk about their journey in Lettings.

James D'Souza is joined by Dan Fatica of DJF Asset Management, to talk about all things investing, how he transitioned from buy-to-lets to London investing, as well as how bridging operators work and how you can add this valuable tool to your investing armoury. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every time we face a problem and fix them, we add another tool to our toolkit. Things may be hard at the outset, but they get easier with each lesson learned. Mastering local area knowledge is essential to making the most of where you invest. Establishing a power team and knowing the best prices to pay will allow you to move sooner and take advantage of all opportunities. Lettings agents are working for you. You are the client and you pay them, so there's no shame in wanting to get the best for your money. Understanding the valuation metrics of your chosen lenders is essential, as the more open-ended open market valuers are going to attach higher values to properties in general. If there's a higher value there, then you can borrow more.  BEST MOMENTS 'It took me so long to learn the craft' 'Solidify the learnings. Make sure you master them' 'It's all relationships!'

In this episode of The Property Cast, Eddie is joined by Sean Hooker, Head of Redress at the Property Redress Scheme and special guest - a big hitter in the property market - Nathan Emerson, CEO of Propertymark, the leading membership body for property agents. With the private rented sector about to go through the biggest reform in 20 years, we explore Propertymark's perspective on the impact of the proposed legislation on lettings, landlords and agents. We often talk about what makes a good agent, but what in Nathan's view makes a bad agent? How do landlords avoid the bad ones? How can agents make sure they are a good one? And what are the most common errors and serious issues Propertymark comes across? Tune in to hear Nathan's tips for landlords and agents and to hear more insights - from what one thing Nathan would change to keep landlords in the sector to whether landlord redress is the right way to raise standards, how market conditions are affecting agents, and much more.

In this in-depth private rented sector legislation special, Eddie and Paul are joined by David Smith, head of property litigation at JMW Solicitors. The discussion kicks off with the recent landmark Rakusen v Jepsen rent repayment order case, where David represented the NRLA and which, he explains, highlights how the interpretation of legislation changes over time. In the light of the Supreme Court case and with an increasing number of ‘property gurus' damaging the reputation of the sector, should the Government be looking to reform rent to rent rules as part of the Renters' Reform Bill? Property condition is already a major focus for reform through the proposed application of the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector, but will the tragic death of Awaab Ishak be a game changer? And how will regulatory change be matched by enforcement? With so many legislative changes to contend with, is it time for landlords to take on a professional to manage their property, or should landlord education be compulsory, as it now is in Wales? What might the proposed new property portal for landlords in England look like – the ‘light touch' version adopted by Northern Ireland, or the ‘harder touch' Welsh approach? What are David's concerns about the Renters' Reform Bill from a lawyer's perspective?  They may not have all the answers, but this podcast is jam-packed with expert insights and challenge around the often-overlooked details of private rented sector legislation.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I am joined by William Reeve, a serial tech entrepreneur with an extensive track record of founding and chairing successful high-growth tech businesses. William shares his insights on why the rental sector has been overlooked by the tech industry for so long, despite impacting a significant percentage of homes in the UK. As CEO of Goodlord, a RentTech company, William discusses how he is using technology to revolutionize the rental experience for agents, landlords, and tenants. We explore the challenges faced by the lettings industry and the role that RentTech can play in addressing these issues. Join us as we discuss the potential of RentTech to reshape the world of renting and establish itself as a major player in the tech industry. Learn why the lettings industry desperately needs tech reform and how Goodlord is leading the charge to bring much-needed innovation to this important sector. William has extensive experience founding companies such as Fletcher Research (sold to Forrester Research), LOVEFILM (sold to Amazon), and Secret Escapes. He has also served as NED and/or Chair of various high-growth tech businesses, including Graze (sold to Carlyle), Nutmeg (sold to JP Morgan), True Knowledge (sold to Amazon), Media Ingenuity, and Zoopla.

Bidding wars, rent caps and queues just to view homes. What is going on with rented housing? Far from being a fringe aspect of housing used by students, it's now used by a significant proportion of our population. Ahir Shah is joined by Pete Apps, deputy editor at Inside Housing and author of forthcoming book Show Me the Bodies, on the Grenfell Tower disaster, to discuss navigating the lettings market.     “We are seeing a supply-demand perfect storm.” “With house prices rising, most people really are trapped. They have no option but to rent at extortionate rates.” “The private rental sector isn't some fringe part of the economy only used by students, it's the main way that many house themselves.”  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Ahir Shah.

In this episode, Rob sits down to speak to Sam Watterson the owner of Watts & Co, a Leeds-based Lettings and Property Investment Agency. He is a landlord himself, a podcaster and a mentor that teaches people how to invest in and run all kinds of property businesses. Sam explains how having systems in place and automating as much as possible has enabled his business to grow fast.   He explains what a CRM is and how property developers can use it. As well as sharing how he uses Zapier and If This Then That (IFTT) and explaining what tools you need to get started with automating your business.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   A lot of businesses have a CRM system but don´t link it up to automate text messages or emails. You make your money when you are face-to-face selling not when you are doing admin. Link trees are a powerful way to share past projects and other things potential investors are interested in. As soon as you have to do something twice, automate it. Using an Open CRM makes it extremely easy to link it up to your other tech, Zapier is ideal for linking two pieces of software together and using IFTT. If you want to scale automate. Let your system do the heavy lifting. When you systemise and automate, you make fewer mistakes, which results in your client having a better experience.   BEST MOMENTS ‘When it comes to technology, a lot of people barely scratch the surface.' ‘Having a CRM system that is customisable and links with all of your other apps is invaluable.' ‘Start small with the fundamental brains of the operation.' ‘Being a technophobe is not an excuse. You are in business to make money.'   EPISODE RESOURCES bit.ly/SWLinkTree https://linktr.ee/     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.
