The Housing Shortage Crisis

from Property Magic Podcast · host Simon Zutshi

Simon discusses the housing shortage crisis and its implications for property investors. With the UK experiencing a shortage of accommodation, rental rates have significantly increased, making it a favourable time for property investors with rental properties. Simon highlights advice on buying in areas with strong rental demand, focusing on positive cash flow, and helping motivated sellers to build a successful property portfolio. KEY TAKEAWAYS The UK is currently facing a housing shortage crisis, leading to increased rental rates and a high demand for accommodation. Both major political parties, the Conservatives and Labour, agree that the UK needs 300,000 new homes every year to meet the growing demand. Property prices have been experiencing a correction, with a 14% swing in direction from a 10% increase to a 3.8% decrease in the past 12 months. The current market conditions present a great opportunity for property investors to buy properties at lower prices, as there is less competition and a shortage of rental accommodation. BEST MOMENTS "It's one of the reasons we're seeing rental rates shoot up massively, which is good news for you if you are a property investor with property to rent out." "Now, the reality is that the average has been probably just less than 200,000 and this year, in 2023, we probably won't get as many as 150,000 new homes." "And the reason the government did that is part of the UK economy, one of the foundations of the UK economy, is obviously the housing sector." "Whilst most amateurs are waiting by the side, it means you don't have as much competition."
