April marked a very special month for the Listen Up Landlords team, with our first LIVE podcast recording – complete with studio audience – at Manchester's MediaCity. Hot on the heels of our 50th episode earlier this year our team of expert speakers addressed all the major issues affecting the sector at the moment, from the impact of the impending Renters' Rights Bill to proposed new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards.

Our 50th episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords sees hosts NRLA CEO Ben Beadle and presenter Richard Blanco examine the latest Government proposals around Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Landlords whose rental homes have an EPC rating below ‘C' will need to spend up to £15,000 per property to reach the new minimum standard, with just five years to go until the 2030 deadline. Ben and Richard are joined by James Kent, the NRLA's chief innovation officer; Andrew Parkin, from the Property Energy Professionals Association and Chris Rogal, a London-based portfolio landlord, to unpack the plans and what they mean for landlords. Danny McKeown-Henshall a team leader on the NRLA support team, shares some of members' most common questions to the advice line since the proposals were published. We also run through the NRLA's calls when it comes to the plans. The association wants the Government to increase the lead-in time for change to 10 years, introduce a comprehensive funding plan to support landlords making improvements and commit to tackling the massive shortfall in qualified tradespeople.

In this episode of The Beespace Podcast, Jade catches up with her good friend Craig Sullivan (aka. The Property Apprentice) for a seriously meaty chat about what's really going on in the property world right now, especially when it comes to landlord rights. Craig drops some major truth bombs about: • The Renters' Rights Bill and why it's freaking everyone out (spoiler: it's worse than we thought!) • Why he's deliberately pumped the brakes on his development projects lately • His mission to shake up the NRLA and why he's calling out Ben Beadle • The real deal about running student properties in 2025 and beyond • His brilliant 3-bucket strategy for landlords needing to pivot their portfolios He'll also share: • The cold hard facts about why small landlords are being pushed out • His plan to get landlords' voices heard (including a cheeky protest in Westminster!) • Why the student accommodation game is changing forever • The scary truth about what these changes mean for property values and lending • Why the NRLA needs to step up their game - like, yesterday This is a must-listen for anyone with property investments, especially in the student market. Craig and Jade don't just talk about the problems – they get into the nitty-gritty of what landlords can actually DO about it all. It's not all doom and gloom though, there's plenty of laughs along the way as they share their unfiltered thoughts on everything from dodgy Instagram "property gurus" to why floating around on a rubber ring definitely isn't the reality of being a landlord!

In this episode of Listen Up Landlords, presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle and landlord Richard Blanco welcome a panel of guests to look back over the last 12 months and ahead to 2025. It has been a year of change, with a new Government bringing forward new legislation in the form of the Renters' Rights Bill with new minimum EPC ratings also on the cards for landlords going forward. The supply crisis blighting the private rented sector continues, with 21 households competing for every home advertised to let, and rents rising as a result. To unpack all this, and more, Ben and Richard are joined by Jeni Browne, Business Development Director at Mortgage Finance Brokers, Sarah Davidson, consumer champion and financial journalist, Kristjan Byfield, letting agent and founder of proptech firm The Depositary and landlord, Sarah Watt.

In this episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords presenters NRLA CEO Ben Beadle and Richard Blanco look at the renewed popularity of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and address the issue of mental health in the private rented sector. Ben and Richard are joined by Russell Anderson, Commercial Director at Paragon Bank and HMO landlord Andy Graham to talk about the increase in the number of landlords investing in this type of property. A recent report from Paragon showed increasing numbers of aspiring portfolio landlords are targeting HMOs, with NRLA research revealing the number of landlords with HMOs in their portfolios has risen from 17% to 22% in the last decade alone. We look at the reasons for this, the changing face of HMOs and the challenges facing the sector over coming years, particularly in the student sector. Landlord support team leader Danny McKeown Henshall fills us in on the hot topics on the NRLA phone lines this month, and, to mark the launch of two new courses from the NRLA Training Academy, we shine a spotlight on mental health. The award-winning academy's new mental health in housing course will help private sector landlords identify common mental health disorders and develop strategies for prevention, intervention, and support. The Listen Up Landlords team is joined by expert trainer Mike O'Hara to talk about the issue of mental health in the PRS, what landlords can do to support tenants and, where they can turn for support, if they find themselves struggling. More information In addition to the PRS Mental Health in Housing course, the NRLA Training Academy is also launching a course for those working in social housing, with more information available here.

In this episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords, presenters NRLA CEO Ben Beadle (@BeadleBen) and Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_)  examine the thorny issue of landlord taxation. Ben and Richard are joined by Stuart Adam, a senior economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, who believes that measures introduced by former Chancellor George Osborne are harming tenants by forcing rents up. He says that in his opinion the Government should restore the deduction for finance costs in full (mortgage interest relief) and get rid of the additional dwelling supplement in stamp duty, changing the existing tax system to make it fairer for landlords.   With XL Bully attacks and the new Government ban making the headlines in recent months, Samuel Blackhurst from the NRLA's Landlord Support Team talks about some of the calls the association has received on the issue. And later in the show we are joined by former landlord and letting agent Claire Empson, who has sold her rental properties to invest in a holiday let, and Avril Roberts, Senior Policy Adviser from the Country Land and Business Association. Avril says more and more members, many of whom operate in the agricultural sector, are diversifying into holiday lets to mitigate the impact of Brexit, which has seen them lose important farming subsidies.

In this episode of Listen Up Landlords, presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle (@BeadleBen)  Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_)  welcome a panel of guests to look back over the last 12 months and forward to 2024. This was the year to Government finally published its Renters (Reform) Bill, at the same time as – following years of low interest rates – base rate hit 5.25% and average mortgage rates rose to well over 6%. The supply crisis in the Private Rented Sector has worsened, with latest figures from Zoopla indicating on average 25 people are looking at every available property to rent. But its not all doom and gloom. The NRLA has seen wins in areas such as rental reform, with the Government making a number of concessions as a result of NRLA campaigning, as well as u-turning on the introduction of unrealistic minimum EPC C energy efficiency standards. It has also announced plans to reverse the freeze on Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates and end the practice of disaggregating HMOs. Ben and Richard are joined by Kate Faulkner, Managing Director of Property Checklists, Russell Quirk, Managing Director at Proper PR, James Kent, Managing Director and founder of compliance firm Safe2 and Martin Reynolds, Chief Executive of Simply Biz Mortgages to unpick the changes we have seen over the past year, and what we can expect to see happen next.

In this episode of Listen Up Landlords, presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle (@BeadleBen)  Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_)  look at the rising cost of building materials and the challenges in sourcing labourers for development and improvement works. The most recent data from the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) shows that 87% of FMB members said the cost of materials has increased and 75% said that this would lead to an increase in the price they charge to the customer. More than half - 51% - said the lack of available labour had delayed jobs. Ben and Richard talk Jeremy Gray, Head of Policy & Public Affairs at the Federation Of Master Builders and developer and landlord Charlotte Edwards, about their experiences, and whether things are starting to change. Joseph Taylor of the Landlord Advice Team joins us for our regular update on the hot topics on the support line, before we talk to Sandy Bastin Head of Tenancy Deposit Services at TDS about outdoor spaces, including where responsibility lies when it comes to tending gardens and common areas of dispute.

In this episode of Listen Up Landlords, presenter Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_)  discusses NRLA calls to reverse the decision to freeze Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates – a move which has seen more and more tenants struggling to make ends meet. LHA rates are used to calculate benefit payments for housing costs. Historically rates were set at the average rental price for an area, with the sum regularly reviewed. However the rate was reduced to the 30th percentile in 2011. They were frozen between 2016 and 2020 when they were realigned to the 30th percentile once more at the outset of Covid, based on rental prices as of September 19. They have remained at this level despite real-world rents going up by more than 10%. In just over two years to August 2022 the number of households facing a shortfall in their housing benefit increased by 50%. The NRLA has been campaigning on the issue for some time, asking the Government to reverse the freeze, to support both the 38% of private renters in receipt of housing benefit, and the landlords housing them. Richard is joined by Leeds Landlord Jessica Reehal who owns 22 properties in Leeds and rents mostly to families in receipt of benefits and Julie Ford, who is a tenancy mediator for the Property Redress Scheme and runs the NRLA course on Tenant Finance. They talk about the issues they are experiencing on the ground and what needs to change. Joseph Taylor of the Landlord Advice Team joins us for our regular update on the hot topics on the phonelines, before Richard talks to landlord MaryAnn Richmond-Coggan, who built a successful rental portfolio in South East London, before opening a farm and community garden in Kent, running a charity enabling youngsters from the city to experience the great outdoors. She talks about buying at the right time, the challenge of refurbishment and giving something back.

In this episode of Listen Up Landlords, presenter Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_)  is flying solo to examine the thorny issue of funding for building safety works.  In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy new fire safety requirements have left tens of thousands of tower blocks across the country requiring vital remedial works, with the argument over who should fund these works still raging.   The Building Safety Act was intended to provide financial remedy for blocks of 11m or higher (so called ‘high-risk' buildings).  In some cases, the developer is responsible for rectifying defects and in other cases leaseholders must contribute, up to a certain amount.   However no financial help is available for an estimated 1.3 million leaseholders with flats in low rise blocks, and so-called Non-Qualifying Leaseholders in taller blocks, many of whom are landlords.  The implications are far-reaching for landlords who own more than three properties in the UK, who don't qualify for protections. The NRLA conducted a survey recently to gather data to bolster its campaign for a building safety remediation scheme that would fund all necessary remedial work, irrespective of ownership.   We are joined by Alison Hills, Senior Associate at Tees Law and Maggie Brodie, co-leader of the Unqualified Leaseholders Campaign Group to examine the issues and potential solutions.  Danny McKeown-Henshall of the Landlord Advice Team joins us for our regular update on the hot topics on the phonelines, before we look to Wales to examine the impact of the new Renting Homes (Wales) Act.  New Ministry of Justice figures reveal that since the announcement of the new Act at the start of last year, possession claims in Wales have increased four-fold.    We speak to the NRLA Operations Manager in Wales, Steve Bletsoe to find out more about what's going on and, in the wake of the release of new NRLA paper State of the Welsh Private Rented Sector, what the NRLA wants to see happen to boost the supply of homes to rent.  More information   If you enjoy the podcast, please spread the word on your social media channels using the hashtag #listenuplandlords.   For all podcast enquiries email press@nrla.org.uk    ACCREDITATION: You can now pick up a CPD point to be used towards NRLA accreditation by listening to the podcast.

Ben Beadle, Chief executive at NRLA (National Residential Landlord Association), joined Iain McKenzie this week to give his frank and honest view on the state of the UK's housing market, in particular with regards to the lettings market. NRLA supports over 100,000 Landlords and Ben recently met with Michael Gove to discuss everything from The Renters Reform Bill to the Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sector and even anti-social behaviour, listen to this episode to hear what the former Housing Minister had to say.

171 - Most of you have already read about the supreme court case Rakusen v Jepsen - and since the judgement, many of you have now been asking what this will mean for rent to rent and even if this is the end of rent to rent! In this podcast episode, there are lots of lessons to be learnt and I'm going to break down and summarise, in plain English, the following:

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.

Landlords switching to holiday lets and SA (Serviced Accommodation) for less regulation and higher profits. Rent controls will drive private landlords away, reduce inventory and increase rents for tenants. World Banks say central bank interest rate hikes could cause a 2023 recession. US Mortgage Rates hit 14-year high as Pound falls to 37-year low against US Dollar. How will higher interest rates affect property prices, wider economy and stock market?   Higher interest rates increase the cost of money or borrowing and has the effect of slowing down economic growth, profits and ultimately stocks and share prices. Property prices are higher than a year ago, but the rate of price growth is slowing. Corporate insolvencies have jumped in England and Wales, as economic conditions and inflation start to hurt businesses. A bell weather company, FedEx, saw its shares plunge after a profit warning linked to a gloomy economy. When times are good, and borrowing is cheap everyone buys more on credit and the economy expends. But the cycle never lasts, as we cannot keep on borrowing and creating money out of thin air forever… The party is over! Inflation is running out of control, which means the central banks will have to tighten monetary policy and pull back the reins on the economy.  Now is the time to learn how to manage your money and prepare for the financial winter. Do you have any savings? Do you know how to invest or where to invest your money to build financial freedom? For how long could you pay your bills if you lost your job? Are you fed up struggling? What can you do transform your finances and become financially free? To help you get through this and come out stronger at the other end I have prepared a brand-new training, which you can access right now from the comfort of your home.

Following the Queen's funeral, it is time to get back to the reality of the crisis we are facing in the UK. UK interest rates set to rise again this week by the biggest margin in 33 years, as pound slides against the US dollar. Sterling has fallen to a 37 year low against the US dollar, the reserve currency of the world.  This means that the UK is paying 15-20% more for imports, such as oil, on top of all the other factors causing prices to rise at the fastest rate since the early 80s.  More misery than expected for mortgage holders when the Bank of England monetary policy committee meets this week (following a delay for the Queen's period of mourning) to set UK base interest rates. The new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng will announce his first mini-budget on Friday. Rates could rise by at least 0.5%-0.75% or even 1% this week. A 0.75% hike would mean that the average mortgage holder, with a loan of £138,000, will be paying an additional £728per annum (based on a variable rate loan). Whilst most mortgage holders have a fixed rate mortgage, when these deals come to an end, borrowers will suffer a steep rise in monthly payments. The days of low interest rates and cheap borrowing have come to an end for the time being.  The Federal reserve has been aggressively raising interest rates to come back inflation which has strengthened the dollar and weakened sterling and the euro.   Higher interest rates means that buy-to-let investors taking out a mortgage will need to carefully examine the viability of rental properties based on increased loan repayments. Average yields will be hit by higher mortgage costs which have doubled in many cases.  Mortgage lenders are already factoring in higher interest rates when calculating affordability and borrowing levels. Higher rates usually results in lower mortgage loans for borrowers. Businesses borrowers also face huge additional costs on top of the cost of running the businesses with higher oil and power prices. Insolvencies in England and Wales are up as thousands of businesses go to the wall. Higher interest rates and tighter monetary policies, designed to control inflation, will cause the worldwide economy to slow down. Unfortunately, low paid workers and small businesses get hit hardest as if you can survive very long during a recession.   In the last 10 years, consumers have taken on enormous amounts of cheap and plentiful debt on their homes, as well as to purchase luxury items such as cars, boats and recreational vehicles. This is all very well as long as they have income to service the debt when income slowdown people get into trouble and business for debt collectors and bailiffs starts the boom. Expect to see more repossessions of homes and cars next year. In my S.M.A.R.T money course, I always stress that borrowing to buy consumer goods - which go down in value - is a bad idea.   Now is the time to prepare for the economic winter ahead. Get your house in order and fasten your seatbelts for a rough ride ahead.  When times are good, and borrowing is cheap everyone buys more on credit and the economy expends. But the cycle never lasts, as we cannot keep on borrowing and creating money out of thin air forever…It hasn't worked in the past and it will not work now. The party is over! Inflation is running out of control, which means the central banks will have to tighten monetary policy and pull back the reins on the economy – slow down the economy causing a recession.  Now is the time to learn how to manage your money and prepare for the financial winter. Do you have any savings? Do you know how to invest or where to invest your money to build financial freedom? For how long could you pay your bills if you lost your job? Are you fed up struggling?

Rob is in conversation with Janice Minihan who is a successful entrepreneur in property deal sourcing. They discuss her journey to property success and how property allowed her to get creative and pursue exciting opportunities. Property sourcing is about being able to fulfil a client's criteria for a property and reputable deal sourcers work with the trust and confidence of their clients built through their positive relationships and networking. It's all about reputation when you grow as a deal sourcer and understanding that your network is your net worth. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS It's important the investor goes from wanting to buy a property, to having a property that generates income for them. As a sourcer you have to be able to adapt and find the right deal for the investor. Networking is key,  it's all about the relationships you build with others. Off-market and direct to vendor leads will come through your network. It's a win for you and a win for them. Fees vary according to the deal. Larger deals may be a percentage whereas single property deals will usually be completed by a sourcer for a set fee. A reputable sourcer will never ask for the complete sourcing fee upfront. If you give a good service your reputation will grow and you will be able over time to command a higher fee. A legitimate sourcer will be regulated having professional indemnity insurance, be registered for anti-money laundering, be a member of the NRLA, be part of the property redress scheme and registered for data protection with the ICO. It's important to be regulated, know your numbers, build relationships and your network and invest in yourself and your education. If you take the time to develop your skills then you are helping people to get what they want and you are getting something you want.   BEST MOMENTS ‘If you can't get clear answers from the sourcer then they may not be the sourcer for you' ‘If you treat it like a business you will get business results if you treat it like a hobby you'll get hobby results' ‘Know your numbers otherwise you won't get any deals'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon)  www.minihangroup.co.uk  The Property Deal Store   ABOUT THE GUEST Janice Minihan is an entrepreneur who eats, breathes and lives property.
