Welcome to “Landlords’ Barometer #33”, bringing you hot topics from the Property Tribes forum.
1. Trend spotting: The decline of FREEHOLD and the rise of LEASEHOLD
I am always interested to spot trends early in the property world as it may be a way to identify a lucrative strategy or get a first advantage.
Recent analysis of Land Registry data reveals that freehold houses are in decline, and that leasehold is growing rapidly. I have written about this trend from the landlord perspective.
2. Who influences you in the property world?
Simple Landlords Insurance have produced a list of the top 25 influencers in property. The lovely Ros Renshaw of EYE made the cut – but which other faces do you recognise and who else should be acknowledged for their contributions?
The Residential Landlords Association represents the interests of over 22,000 landlords and January was a particularly busy month for new membership sign-ups.
I took the Property Tribes camera on a guided video tour of their HQ near Manchester to find out more about their work – both how they support landlords and campaign for a better private rented sector.
4. Interview with professional property buyer Jason Harris-Cohen
Find out about the business journey of this young entrepreneur and what makes a 10-a-month property buyer tick.
5. “Right to Rent” launches amid industry concerns
Right to Rent launched in England on 1st February 2016 amid concerns from the RLA and landlord community.
6. The Shawbrook Bank “Broker Barometer” reveals challenges facing investors
