Show Notes
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
