Mark My Words

Taking Flight - What you need to know before learning to fly a plane or helicopter!

Mark talks through recent property news headlines including why UK rental prices have continued to increase despite government measures. Mark gives his thoughts on proposed rent controls being introduced in Wales, the impact of current rent controls in Scotland and why the UK does not offer value for money in renting properties. He also reveals the many other reasons behind the current rental crisis in the UK.


KEY TAKEAWAYS
50k rental properties are needed to meet the demand in the UK
Rent controls do not work. In the 60s and 70s, this was proven and it is being proven again.
Rent control reduces the rental stock and pushes prices up, it also impacts the country's labour market as people cannot move around easily.
People in the UK live in smaller homes than many other countries including France, Germany and Japan.
Planning is extremely slow in the UK, this impacts the speed at which properties can be developed.
Women in the UK are having fewer children than are needed to sustain the workforce which means immigration is heavily relied on.

BEST MOMENTS

"For the 17th consecutive time, the price of renting in the UK has gone up”

“Rent control doesn’t work”

“It will reduce the quality and selection”

“Reduce the cost of childcare and get women back to work”

“It’s stealing off a section of society and it’s not right”

Building Your Power Team

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”
