KEY TAKEAWAYS
Cavity wall insulation claims scandal has affected many people, leading to potential legal and home issues.
Unscrupulous companies took advantage of government incentives for cavity wall insulation, resulting in poorly done jobs and negative impacts on homes.
Government faces challenges in regulating the cavity wall insulation industry, as multiple companies can exploit the system for financial gain.
Individuals, especially landlords and tenants on benefits or low incomes, should exercise caution and research before agreeing to cavity wall insulation services.
It is crucial to verify if a home has a cavity wall, understand the proper insulation techniques, and ensure reputable companies are hired to avoid potential scams and poor workmanship.
BEST MOMENTS
"Your home is your castle. As they say, in England, we take our homes very seriously. And so we should."
"In an ideal world, you just give it all to one company and go, right, national scheme, off we go. This is how we do it."
"Always be careful if people are ringing up and telling you that they can do this and do that, just always be a little bit cautious with that."
"There might be wood insulation but that's where you've got to do your homework as well."
"Serious questions might need to be asked about a cavity wall installation claim scandal."

New Holiday Let controls to start THIS SUMMER - but for the wrong reason
Rob discusses the government's plans to introduce new controls on holiday lets starting from the summer. The aim is to make housing more affordable for local residents, but Rob questions whether these measures will effectively address the issue, highlighting the importance of increasing the supply of housing as a long-term solution to the housing crisis.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The government is looking to introduce new controls on holiday lets from this summer to help local people afford housing in their area.
The proposed controls include seeking permission from the council to turn a home into a short-term let and implementing a mandatory national registration scheme.
Existing short-term lets will be automatically reclassified, while new ones will require planning permission.
The government's aim is to address the issue of local affordability, but the ultimate solution lies in building more housing to meet demand.
Flexibility and a dynamic approach to homeownership are essential, as birthplace does not guarantee the right to own a home in a specific area.
BEST MOMENTS
"The way to solve any housing issue is build more, because the demand for housing is much higher than the supply of housing in this country at the moment."
"Just because you are born in an area or you live in an area, it doesn't give you an automatic right to buy a home in that area."
"The rules won't apply to people renting out their main home for less than 90 nights a year. It doesn't affect hotels, hostels and B&Bs."
"Councils would have the power to require planning permission for properties if they deem that necessary, which probably means they will because councils love the power."

No fault evictions MIGHT be banned BEFORE next election - let's see...
Rob examines into the recent announcement by Michael Gove regarding the ban on no-fault evictions by the next election. With a critical eye, he questions the government's motives behind this decision, suggesting it may be driven by a desire to secure votes rather than genuinely improving the rental system.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Government's Motive for Banning No-Fault Evictions: Robquestions the government's motive behind the decision to ban no-fault evictions, suggesting it may be driven by a desire to win votes rather than genuinely improving the housing system.
Impact on Landlords: The episode highlights the potential challenges landlords may face with the ban on no-fault evictions, especially in dealing with difficult tenants who may not pay rent or cause damage to the property.
Need for Clarity and Efficiency in Court System: There is a call for a clearer and more efficient court system to address issues related to problematic tenants, rent arrears, and property damage, emphasising the importance of a balanced approach that considers both landlords and tenants.
Call for Action and Progress: Rob urges the government to take decisive action and make progress in addressing the challenges within the housing sector, emphasising the need for clarity, efficiency, and fairness for all parties involved.
BEST MOMENTS
"The challenge you've got with that is quite simply, I'm not convinced we're going to have a Tory government anywhere near the Houses of Parliament come the end of the year."
"Sometimes the simplest way to get them out is a no-fault eviction. It's quite a simple way. Yeah, I want my house back. I want my property back. Thank you very much."
"Unfortunately, there are going to be landlords out there a little bit unscrupulous that won't agree with that. And there are dodgy people out there, absolutely."

Rent and price Controls DON'T work - here is a live example!
Rob looks into the repercussions of rent controls in Scotland, highlighting the imminent challenges faced by tenants and landlords alike. He dissects the government's decision to implement price controls and the subsequent impact on the housing market.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Rent controls in Scotland are set to expire in April, leading to potential rent hikes and mass evictions.
The imbalance between housing supply and demand in Scotland, similar to the rest of the UK, is a key factor driving rent increases.
The temporary rent controls implemented during the cost of living crisis have suppressed market forces, leading to a potential spike in rents post-expiration.
The Scottish government's proposal for long-term rent controls and new tenant rights may further disrupt the housing market.
BEST MOMENTS
"Rent controls and price controls do not work whatsoever. There's thousands of years of history to show you that rental caps or price caps don't work."
"The market's been suppressed. So now the market has got the freedom to do what the market needs to do. You're going to have this big jolt up."
"It's better if you would have allowed the free market to have done what the free market does."
"The very people that they're seeking to want to protect are the very people that are going to lose out. Period."

Heat pump and EV charger sizes to change - to help facilitate more installs
Rob looks into the government's plans to scrap size limits for heat pumps and electric car chargers, highlighting the potential impact of these changes on noise pollution and the challenges faced by homeowners in installing heat pumps.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The government are planning on scrapping size limits for heat pumps and electric car chargers under new government plans.
The government are looking into installation of bigger units without planning permission to minimise noise pollution.
We also have challenges in installing heat pumps in traditional UK housing due to space constraints and building materials.
BEST MOMENTS
"The government's looking to alter the permitted development rules to allow bigger units to be installed, minimising noise levels."
"A heat pump is not a solution for everyone, especially in traditional UK housing with limited space and thermal challenges."
"The government is trying to facilitate easier installations, but local authority approval may still be required for multiple heat pumps in flats."
"Heat pumps outside homes can produce a constant hum of 40-60 decibels, similar to a fridge or dishwasher, posing acoustic challenges."
"The realities of heat pumps are biting back, prompting the government to reconsider planning rules to address the red tape."

The First Commercial Death Knell is HERE
Rob delves into the declining trend of construction cranes in the US and its potential implications for the commercial property sector. With a critical eye, he highlights the significance of this shift, suggesting that it may signal challenging times ahead for the economy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The decline in construction cranes in major US cities signals potential challenges in the commercial property sector.
Decrease in construction activity in the US may foreshadow similar trends in the UK commercial property market.
Office market struggles and rising vacancy rates in the US indicate upcoming opportunities for investors.
Changes in work trends, financing costs, and demand for commercial property are key factors influencing the current market conditions.
Networking, building relationships, and being prepared to seize opportunities are crucial steps for investors in the evolving commercial property landscape.
BEST MOMENTS
"The death of the construction crane is here, certainly in the US anyway. And that is going to signal the first death knell of the commercial property sector."
"When you start to see everything being taken down and taken away, then that normally means things aren't going as well."
"That means opportunity. That means there's going to be a lot of potential discounts to have. There's going to be a lot of cash to be made."
"And this is why there's going to be an awful lot of opportunity moving forward. This is why the first commercial death knell is here."
