Send us a textWant a serviced accommodation playbook that still works when leisure rates dip and the slow season bites? Mark sits down with Emily McTamony to map a practical route from first home and lettings lessons to high-performing SA units, social housing partnerships, and care-provision leases that stabilize cash flow when others scramble. Emily explains why the real winners aren't the glossy one-bed apartments, but the clean, modern three- and four-bed houses with parking that appeal to contractors, relocations, and insurance stays. We break down how to source smarter—filter by age of kitchen, location, and time on market—then run conservative numbers so you only chase properties that pass a stress test.Emily brings a rare edge: optionality. When a head lease blocked short-term lets, she pivoted a unit into a housing association agreement and kept income flowing. She also walks through Placement Finder, where she sources long-term homes for care providers supporting children with complex needs. We talk candidly about damage, standards, and why these bookings are repaired to SA quality and paid by the provider. The big unlock is a hybrid model—operate as SA in peak periods and switch to housing association or care placements on flexible terms through slower months—so you smooth occupancy, protect rates, and keep operations consistent.You'll hear precise, actionable insights: why Derby underperforms on nightly rates, how to compete in saturated Nottingham with below-market rents and superior staging, and why professional setup beats DIY every time. We also dig into mindset: slow down, prove one concept, then scale with confidence. If you're navigating rent reform headlines, rising competition, or seasonal whiplash, this conversation gives you the tools to pick better stock, build stronger demand channels, and design resilient revenue streams.If this helped you think differently about SA and social housing strategy, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what city should we analyze next?VALUABLE RESOURCES: Let me help you build your property business, Check out how I can support your investing now.

When Suppliers Bully Estate Agents: What's Really Happening in UK Property Tech? In this interview, Rupert Collingwood, a no nonsense estate agency broker, pulls no punches about how some prop tech suppliers are squeezing estate agents and letting agents across the UK.

He highlights the frustration agents face when suppliers keep raising costs regardless of the value delivered, and when product changes create extra headaches and expenses.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.
