Mark My Words

Budget Reaction: What It Means For All Property Investors

Join Mark as he gives an overview of the current news stories around property including the growth of the construction industry and his take on the favourability of first time buyers and what targets we should instead be focusing on. Mark also talks about the current rent crisis and the impact of the cost of living on landlords, investors and tenants.  


KEY TAKEAWAYS
Historically, first time buyers keep the market moving and triggered economic growth but the favourability towards them with schemes such as help to buy have been detrimental in many ways too.
The cost of construction has gone up by around a third, and this has created redundancies and collapses in the industry.
Rent rises have surged post-covid and during this current cost of living crisis but Mark is seeing indications of this now slowing as demand is starting to reduce.
Airbnb and other serviced accommodation providers have had a direct impact on housing stock. Some controls are beginning to be introduced but it’s important that these also incentivise traditional landlords to create choice and keep prices moderate.
Building on brownfield sites is a key factor in meeting any kind of house-building targets but it’s also important that the targets are focused around the right types of properties in the right areas.



BEST MOMENTS

"For decades there's been the assumption that first-time buyers prop the market up”

“First time buyers have become older”

“Construction industry whilst not mended is probably on the way to being mended after a difficult period”

“2020 was probably coming right to end to the previous cycle”

“We should be focused on the types of properties being built in the right areas”

Property Perspectives | Stop Focusing on First Time Buyers

Mark has been investing in property for 15-20 years, approaching the 100 mark in terms of deals made and has a 70 million equity stake in various portfolios. One of the questions he repeatedly gets asked, is whether it is worth using additional cash to pay of your mortgage or if it is better to invest it elsewhere. Listen in to this episode to hear his thoughts and answers to this common question.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
If you are even slightly disciplined you should not pay your mortgage off. If you are worried about interest rates then look at fixed rate mortgages.
If you can invest your cash somewhere else, you will earn more back on that lump sum than you will be paying in interest on your mortgage.
Property is still by far the best investment opportunity particularly in terms of lending from banks; they will always give you a great interest rate on anything you borrow. 



BEST MOMENTS 

“Why would you want to pay of your mortgage if you can get consistently good returns by investing in your isa and getting much much higher investment returns”



“You’ve got to make your money work for you, no one else will look after your money like you do”

REVISTED: Why You Should NEVER Pay off Your Mortgage Early

Mark gives an overview of the current news stories around property including new legislation and the recent budget. Mark also talks about the many changes around serviced accommodation, current house prices and gives his thoughts and opinions on why other markets aren’t investing in the UK.


KEY TAKEAWAYS
When governments reduce taxes, they generally find they receive more tax as people spend more in the economy.
Other markets aren’t investing in the UK as they don’t see our companies as efficient of innovative.
There are big changes happening in serviced accommodation, you will no longer be able to claim capital allowances on SA and much more planning will be needed for new serviced accommodation.
There have been more changes in the property market since Christmas with some areas seeing 10-15% drops.
It’s a fine balance between legislation to help renters and pushing landlords too far, reducing the rent stock further and making the problem worse.



BEST MOMENTS

"As you reduce tax rates, often the amount of tax you take increases”

“The markets see our companies as nowhere near efficient”

“You’re not going to be able to claim capital allowances on serviced accommodation”

“Inflation is now at about 4%, we need 2%, we were and 10%”

“Renters reform bill is on the brink of collapse”

"It pushes rent up"
