  Is being a landlord still worth it?

  Oct 1, 202622 min

  Everyone has an opinion on whether being a landlord still pays off. Very few have the data to back it up... Richard Donnell, Zoopla's Executive Director - Research, is back on the show. Rob & Rob put the big question to him straight away, and his answer comes with a condition every landlord should hear. From there, he tests the headlines investors have been worrying about against the evidence. (02:12) Are landlords really heading for the exit, and who's buying the homes they sell? (04:00) Why so many investors now expect to buy a property that needs work (06:44) What the Renters' Rights Act has changed so far, and what it hasn't (08:33) Three quarters of landlords are over 60. So, who owns Britain's rental homes next? (11:43) Why housing will always feature in the wealth tax debate, and the signal that landlords still matter to the government (15:42) Is the average £10,000 EPC upgrade worth it, or is it time to sell? (18:21) The long-run link that still sets property apart from anything else Richard could invest in Links mentioned: Zoopla's rental estimate tool Enjoy the show?

  The unintended consequence of the Renters’ Rights Act that NOBODY is reporting

  Sep 24, 202633 min

  The Renters' Rights Act has been live for five months. The changes it's caused aren't the ones anyone was arguing about beforehand... Rob & Rob get into the bidding ban that backfired, the financially secure tenants now struggling to rent at all, and the new fees letting agents are testing on landlords. Then they work out what £100,000 in savings is really earning once tax and inflation have taken their share, and what the same money does over five years in property. (02:05) Inverse bidding wars, and why landlords are advertising rents above what they expect to get (06:54) Is the ban on rent in advance shutting out the tenants who can most afford it? (08:25) The fee one agent quoted Rob B for a £25 a month increase (13:06) Why a 5% savings rate is a trap, and who is walking into it (15:26) What £100,000 in the bank really pays you after tax and inflation (17:18) The same money in property, and the gap after five years of modest growth (21:16) Hub Extra - which side of AI your income lands.

  The man who sees every rent in Britain

  Sep 17, 202627 min

  Whatever the national rent headline says this month, there's a good chance it isn't describing everything... Rob & Rob are joined by Richard Donnell, Executive Director of Research at Zoopla, who tracks what 9 million monthly users do on the site and how landlords and agents set rents in real time. He takes them through what's driving the gap between one town and the next, and why the case for owning rental property looks nothing like it did 10 years ago. There's also a free tool to check what your own property should be letting for. (02:30) The number that took everyone by surprise, and why it has completely reversed (04:47) Where rents are climbing fastest right now, and what those markets have in common (10:01) Does the data prove the Renters' Rights Act has pushed advertised rents up? (14:49) Why huge demand for rented homes in London still isn't pushing rents up much (17:51) Why the reason for owning rental property has flipped since the tax changes (22:56) Richard's call on rents over the next 12 months (24:58) Hub Extra Links mentioned: Zoopla's rental estimate calculator Enjoy the show?

  ASK541: What advice would you give a first-time landlord? PLUS: Can I rent to a family member?

  Sep 15, 20268 min

  What would you do differently if you were buying your first buy-to-let today? And can you get a mortgage on a property you're planning to rent to a family member? Your questions answered on this week's episode of Ask Rob & Rob. (00:48) Anya is renovating her own home and plans to put the equity into her first buy-to-let, but she's hesitant about taking the plunge. How do you buy with confidence when it's your first? Rob B sets out what he'd put in place to take the guesswork out of it. (03:59) Sarah's second buy-to-let stacks up on paper, but she wants to rent it to a family member and has been told no lender will touch it. Is that right, and does buying in her own name solve it? Rob D explains what changes when a let is regulated, and what that does to the terms on offer. Enjoy the show? Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!
