Episode 48 – A Christmas Special

In this special Christmas episode of Listen Up Landlords, presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle and landlord Richard Blanco welcome a panel of guests to look back over the last 12 months and ahead to 2025.

It has been a year of change, with a new Government bringing forward new legislation in the form of the Renters’ Rights Bill with new minimum EPC ratings also on the cards for landlords going forward.

The supply crisis blighting the private rented sector continues, with 21 households competing for every home advertised to let, and rents rising as a result.

To unpack all this and more Ben and Richard are joined by Jeni Browne, Business Development Director at Mortgage Finance Brokers, Sarah Davidson, consumer champion and financial journalist, Kristjan Byfield, letting agent and founder of proptech firm The Depositary and landlord, Sarah Watt.

Covering everything from the change in Government and mortgages and finance to the regulation change up ahead, the panel takes stock of where we are now before some horizon scanning as to what we can expect to see over the next 12 months.
