      Its not "landlords" keeping prices us, the govt controls the supply through: land control, zoning laws, building regulations, and lets not forget the NIMBYs. The rest is just propoganda to make U forget this, so U vote more govt control, and thus, less competition and more misery

    I think house crash is already happening and Landlords leaving is because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for now/future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.

      I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

    Regarding the topic, I own a second home that’s a 3 bed semi in zone 5 west London, and although it’s not currently rented out, I could get 1.5K pcm easily for it, however the mortgage is 1k on it (repayment), after taxes I’d make no significant profit if it was rented out. Landlords no longer make profits like they used to so they are selling up, but it applies to other parts of the country too, not just London.

      @@MsJustice4ever landlords sell to people who want to buy for a reason, either to become landlords themselves or to live in the house. The process of selling rental property naturally leads to a price decline, which in turn helps people to jump on the property ladder. Equally, the price decline means that rent naturally decreases as well as owners pay a smaller mortgage. This is the economic cycle of supply and demand.

    Interest rates is surely the main answer. Following the 2008 Crash, 14yrs of QE kept rates at extraordinary lows. Now rates have normalised, mortgages have become more expensive wiping out whatever yield you earn on rent. And that's before stamp duty, EPCs, gas & electric safety certs, smoke & CO alarms, letting agent fees, landlord licenses, ICO reg, insurance, tenant acquisition, empty/void periods, maintenance, damage not covered by the deposit, legal costs, income tax & (unless you're called Angela Rayner) capital gains tax when you sell.

    Property is a horrible investment now, after two decades of making double on what should typically be expected from a low to medium risk investment, now faces the wakeup call of several decades of low to negative performance as a result.
    The next massive problem which is the main reason to avoid property as a long term investment going forward is the collapsing global birth rate. In short, the worlds population is now stagnating and set to decline by over a billion people over the next 50 years, in a couple of decades time even with zero house building, supply will be outstripping demand year-on-year leading to lower and lower prices. The global elite know this is coming so want to shift to a renter based market rather than a buying market. The problem is how do you manage the transition without it collapsing the banking sector, expect to see another major global crash within the next decade as all the bad debt brings the banking sector into meltdown again.

      You are talking about the whole world. But people from poor countries (where population keeps growing) will always do their best to immigrate to rich countries like the UK. So there won't be any decline in population in this country as long government will keep allowing immigration to this country. The moment immigration to here stops, everything you said will become a very sad reality.
