Room rents are hitting record highs while the supply of available rooms is tightening, and that one-two punch is reshaping the day-to-day reality for landlords, letting agents, and tenants.
We sit down with Anthony from Homemaker Properties to unpack the latest numbers, then pressure-test them against what we’re seeing on the ground, including how much an en suite room really rents for in different areas and why the market can feel “dead” for months before it suddenly snaps back to life.
We also tackle a topic that’s becoming impossible to ignore in the private rented sector: damp and mould. With government data pointing to a significant share of homes affected and councils under pressure to enforce standards, we walk through the practical side of compliance. That includes how to respond to reports, how to tell condensation from deeper defects, why ventilation matters, and how periodic inspections, independent inventories, and clear tenant communication can protect both health and your asset.
To round it out, we look at house prices that are barely moving, what the Lloyds house price index suggests, and why falling borrowing can still coexist with “resilient” headline prices. If you’re investing right now, we talk honestly about mortgage stress tests, fees, and why BRRR (buy, refurbish, refinance, rent) may beat flipping until the sales market loosens up again. Subscribe, share this with a landlord or investor friend, and leave a review with the one trend you’re seeing most in your local market.
