    Episode 48 – A Christmas Special

    In this 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.

    Episode 46: HMOs and mental health in housing

    In this episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords presenters NRLA CEO Ben Beadle and Richard Blanco look at the renewed popularity of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and address the issue of mental health in the private rented sector. Ben and Richard are joined by Russell Anderson, Commercial Director at Paragon Bank and HMO landlord Andy Graham to talk about the increase in the number of landlords investing in this type of property. A recent report from Paragon showed increasing numbers of aspiring portfolio landlords are targeting HMOs, with NRLA research revealing the number of landlords with HMOs in their portfolios has risen from 17% to 22% in the last decade alone. We look at the reasons for this, the changing face of HMOs and the challenges facing the sector over coming years, particularly in the student sector. Landlord support team leader Danny McKeown Henshall fills us in on the hot topics on the NRLA phone lines this month, and, to mark the launch of two new courses from the NRLA Training Academy, we shine a spotlight on mental health. The award-winning academy’s new mental health in housing course will help private sector landlords identify common mental health disorders and develop strategies for prevention, intervention, and support. The Listen Up Landlords team is joined by expert trainer Mike O’Hara to talk about the issue of mental health in the PRS, what landlords can do to support tenants and, where they can turn for support, if they find themselves struggling. More information In addition to the PRS Mental Health in Housing course, the NRLA Training Academy is also launching a course for those working in social housing, with more information available here.
