NLRA podcast: Latest episode on exclusive PRS report
In our latest episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords, presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle and Richard Blanco welcome experts from across the property industry to examine new research focussing on the private rented sector and its wider role within society.
The exclusive new research report ‘A housing market that works for everyone: Rethinking the role of the private rented sector’ has been commissioned by the NRLA, highlighting the unique social and economic function of the PRS in this country.
The research was carried out by Chris Walker from the economic consultancy ChamberlainWalker, a former Head of Housing at the thinktank Policy Exchange and an ex-Government economist.
He joins Ben and Richard on the show, along with Richard Rowntree, managing director for mortgages at Paragon Bank and Nigel Lewis, editor of The Negotiator.
They discuss the findings, which highlight the vital role the PRS plays in the the social and economic wellbeing of the country, as well as the need to change the narrative around the sector if it is to thrive.
Copies of the report have now been forwarded to Government officials in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, HM Treasury and Number 10, along with invitations to further discuss the findings.
