In this week's episode of Good Landlording, Suzanne Smith and Richard Jackson discuss the key insights from the NRLA Landlord Conference in Birimingham on 5 November 2024, sharing useful information for landlords.



This includes:




Data from Richard Donnell of Zoopla, relating to the economics of investing, particularly the impact of higher interest rates on investors, and his prediction that rental growth will slow to around 3-4%..



James Caan's advice to entrepreneurs to be flexible, be creative and be prepared for failure, as failure can lead to success. He also underlined the importance of people, building relationships and keeping learning.



The importance of having swift resolution of cases by the redress schemes, and Suzanne's wish for the decisions to be publish so that the case law develops.



Technology promises to grow in importance for landlords, and there is certainly demand there. However, there is currently no "end to end solution" that does it all.



Is Andy Burnham's Good Landlord Charter in Greater Manchester an unnecessary accreditation? (More details here: Good Landlord Charter)



The merits of investing locally.



Why it's so wonderful meeting other landlords in person. 😊
