Landlords’ Barometer #82 – A long way to go before all the issues of Covid-19 come out in the wash

Welcome to the June edition of the  “Landlords Barometer” – as the longest day of the year approaches – the summer solstice – it’s clear we have a long way to go before all the issues of Covid19 come out in the wash.

We’re using the term “coronanomics” to describe and curate how the private rented and general property sector is reacting and adjusting to the impact of Covid19, which has massively amplified the velocity of change in both sectors.

View all our CoronaNomics discussions

We are regarding Covid19 as having been a “stress test” for business models, sectors, and industries, and looking at how property business models and strategies have been tested over the past two months and what lessons can be learned.

Here are the most viewed topics of the past month:

1.  Still buying in current Covid19 conditions?

Over 50 responses to this question!

2.  Is BTL still viable in a post-Covid19 world?

Paul Mahoney of Nova Financial joins me on a zoom call to discuss this corona FAQ.

3.  No sign of any price falls yet

This discussion has over 120 comments to date and just keeps on going!

4.  Thinking of throwing in the towel – ROI?

This landlord feels like he’s had enough as margins are slimmed further.

5.  Samuel Leeds fact checked … by himself!

People have taken to editing videos where Samuel Leeds is fact checked … by himself!  His own video content shows where his claims don’t add up.

6.  Best property strategy with £200K to spend?

New member with £200K asks for advice on how to spend it in BTL.

Property Tribes news:

Property Tribes , as part of our collab with Lendlord, has been recording a series of webinars to encourage landlords to take a “digital first” approach as we believe that this will help mitigate risk going forwards.

We have recorded zoom calls on such topics as key metrics for landlords, profit and loss recording, understanding LTVs across a portfolio, and how to use digital tools to future-proof your BTL business.

These are all curated here:
