Thanks for this john, great advice and insights as always..

Looks like developers got it wrong. We need developers to stop paying crazy prices for land. The price of land should match the ability to pay for the final housing product after all development costs are added.

Money for the housing associations in the form of government grants, or private capital? If government grants then obviously we are talking about tax increases.

MAYBE, if PRS investors were commended rather than vilified; if their interests were enhanced rather than diminished; if their rent and possible damages were insured by public funds, private investors might step-in.

👏🏼

I didn’t recognise you without a tie John 😮

Being a landlord is a mugs game

so they intend building hundreds of thousands of houses , while reducing london housing targets -on the assumption that people will either buy or rent them - at the same time cutting infrastructure projects - which means more people will have to commute along the same roads already clogged up meaning longer journey times, more pollution even if there is a rail station nearby (and we all know about endless strikes and over crowding) - all for a government promising growth and wall to wall green policies while doing nothing to tackle the reason why these houses are needed - i.e. massive population increase due to uncontrolled immigration of all kinds. The only thing labour are thinking off is how to ruin people's lives at an even faster pace..........

Hi, I hope you are very well. I am Jannat a professional UA-cam channel developer and an SEO expert. If you allow me, I would like to make some suggestions for your channel. Feel free to reach out if you want to take your channel to the next level.

In addition to all the points raised, I fail to see how the policy will address where all the building workers will come from. Plus there will need to be major infrastructure builds on top: roads, schools, surgeries, etc.

I hope they prove you wrong. Very short sighted and straight away in the introduction you wasn’t factual. This doesn’t seem to me a professional analysis/ advice…

300k houses per year is probably not a realistic target. However, I think under Labour there will be more housing. Grey Belt eg car parks etc. ; as well as many Offices can be converted. Also, as mentioned below, they will combine smaller/newer towns. It may depend upon how well they transform the Planning system.

I thought the plan was that the Government will change planning rules specifically to make it easier to build on green belt, overruling local authorities, parish councils, nimbys and so on?

I'm a big fan of John, but the ongoing criticism of Labour policies and the negativity is draining. I'm here to learn about property development, finance, and how to maximize deals-areas in which John excels. If anything, your points highlight the failures of the last 14 years of Conservative government. Decisions based on self-interest rather than the public interest, is unfortunately a broader political issue, not just a Labour one. I work in the industry myself, and I can confirm that schemes often get consent through the appeals process even when rejected by local councillors and wards, as long as they comply with regional regulations.

John why are you making it so personal with Angela Rayner??? It is not a requirement any minister is qualified in the department they run, it was just the same with the dozen or so Tory Housing ministers. Also her capital gains tax on the house was unproven, yes no tax was paid on either of the sales (her and ex husband) but the non payment could have been on the other house owned by Rayner's ex husband, we will never know as it is time expired now. As for policy I heard they are thinking about ramming a few villages together to create new towns, this is how Crawley was done and it seems a viable aim at least. Ofcourse 300K houses a year is not possible IMO, there are power and water issues plus a shortage of trades. These targets are really silly as we are in the 2020's not the 1950's economy, which had very little private employment by comparison with today, houses are much more detailed now too.

Lovely to meet you John, great to learn more about this project - what an incredible task.

A big task ahead John but a really exciting project , I look forward to seeing it progress

Well done Great content.

One day I aspire to achieve what you have John!

So, if you take that floor off or replace with lighter, you'll have to go through the BSR. Good luck with that.

Love it ❤

If any one can it's you John. Get them back benchers to dip there hands in there pockets.

Well done John. Exciting project!

Thanks John, super interesting. As I understand it 'greybelt' is not a legal term yet, the other thing is the greenbelt is not known for its access roads so that aspect could knock almost all large scale development out. Then you could also have negative effects on local habitats. Plus the contamination as you mentioned. Certainly worth looking at but not likely to produce too many opportunities in the short term I would have thought.

Because of WFH following covid there is a huge over supply of office space, the reduced workers are impacting local business and its not green belt while often high rise. There is an opportunity to repurpose these buildings. A carbon credit based on built sq.ft for recycling these buildings will make conversion more financially viable.

Mate, if the Govt has got some grey matter between the ears, they should look at every planning application going back 20 years that have gone to Secretary of state and pass all these applications by default - that should start the ball rolling without much effort, init.

Social housing is desperately needed. I know a few friends, one homeless (who does work full time but can't afford private rent) one who's had a family and trying to upscale to a 3 bed, but no private landlord would take them as they don't quite earn enough, and refuse universal credit to top up (again, despite them both working and never being behind with their current private landlord). I'm having similar problems as well. It's a complete mess in my city and it's really expensive (listed one if the worst after London) and social housing has depleted every year with more than 20,000 people on the waiting list in my city atm.....and I can see first hand how there's less and less social housing every year. I would happily go private too but it's just way out my price range here atm 😬

Scary and uncertain time ahead for landlords and tenants.

if its gonna be this bad are you selling all you investment properties

I've just subscribed' very good and well presented. Thank you for the update on the landlord's position with things from a novice landlord of 14 yrs.

I lost over $70k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Natalie Strayer.

Good video lots of info,thanks

I’ve been told if a rent cap comes in I will have to put my rents up, because I haven’t put any rents up for a long time the tenants can’t afford it,

I’ve been a landlord for twenty years . I’ve always kept my properties in good condition and dealt with repairs immediately and charged fair rents. I’ve only ever evicted tenants because of anti - social behaviour or rent arrears. The Labour version of the Renters Reform Bill will make things worse for tenants. Decent landlords have had enough and will be selling up left right and centre. 4 days ago I served 25 section 21 notices before the Labour government bans them. If those tenants can find somewhere to rent they will be paying a lot higher rent than I was charging and rents will continue to rise as supply gets less and less as more and more landlords sell up.

I'm all for the government building more social houses, but when they push that burden on to the average property developer all it means is that even less housing will be built. Labour need to be mindful of that, otherwise they have no chance of hitting any targets and rents will jump up even faster.

it might mean that your property will need to be fit for human habitation.

Yes John, but nobody should be buying and selling properties as the same time as also letting them out. Do one or the other and don't treat tenants like worthless serfs with no human rights. Yes a lot of red tape is making it tough on landlords but my God it's a lot tougher for tenants in the current inflated market. Section 21 is a disgrace - I know several families that have been served eviction notices multiple times within short periods (3 times in just over a year in one case) - just think what that means in terms or stress, removal costs, keeping your job, children losing school places....

I bought my first rental property last week, I’m 23 it took a lot of my money. Sounds like you’re saying sell it

Brexit now Labour = Uk economy F**cked up ..... i dont understand what are people thinking honestly ...

An interesting, if not pessimistic take on the future of the industry.

Thank you John, your information is very thorough

Great video John. Thank you for all this information.

People who voted the conservative and now reluctant to reveal who they are voting next because they do not want to be perceived as racists and bigots if they say they are choosing Reform.😅

Election result; that was a brave prediction. As someone who has voted Conservative all this century I can tell you that I am voting for change on this occasion (i.e. not Conservative and not Labour). I voted for Brexit back in 2016, since 2020 when Brexit took effect the government has done NOTHING. The exception to that being that Bojo the Clown has shown his mettle and his successors have been equally rudderless.

Why was the election called so suddenly? Two reasons. 1) The rate of inflation will go up later this year. That is because the current yearly inflation data-set will lose a negative month contribution from some time in last autumn and that will be replaced by the current trend data, which will be low but will result in an up-tick in CPI of around 1%. 2) Something is afoot that has not yet made it to public awareness. There was a quiet recommendation to stockpile water (they didn't use that word) and that can only be because of any of a number of anticipated threats. Such as:- NATO are perhaps about to start massive provocation in Ukraine, or China are possibly about to annex Taiwan, or possibly the next pandemic is about to sweep the globe, or some other catastrophe which we are yet to encounter. The only thing of which you can be absolutely certain is that the government would not admit to knowing about anything until they have put in place some kind of blame-deflection. But hey ... the warm weather is here at last. Get out there and have a bask with a beer or ice-cream.

Great information, from someone that knows what’s what thanks,

Some good lessons came out from the last deal, ultimately he didnt have enough skin ie cash in the game and the Angels are taking all the risk. Surprised no queries on contingency amounts for the 2 period property deals given they are period properties especially by the lender. As an ex lender myself I have never seen a period property deal come in on budget. I 100% agree with Johns philosophy of selling some stock, its churns the capital and derisks until that capital is reinvested plus its a great way to get in with agents who might see it as an opportunity to make money on the way in and on the way out. Who knows, that might be where the next deal comes from.

the 10 £ fix does not exist in UK anymore...all things are super expensive nowdays and not many landlords have 10+ properties... we are conting pennies really...
