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.

Most property deals aren’t lost because your spreadsheet is wrong, they’re lost because your words are.

Mark Fitzgerald shares a live coaching session from his Education to Action community and breaks down how he talks to landlords, vendors, and agents so the proposal sounds normal, safe, and clearly beneficial.

We start with a real question about service accommodation in Lincoln and what investors should watch for with Article 4, selective licensing, planning use, and local council policies. Mark explains how to stay protected by focusing on practical compliance like fire safety standards, carbon monoxide protection, alarms, and a proper fire risk assessment, plus the often-missed step of checking your mortgage terms or getting consent when needed. The goal is to run a short-term rental business that is built to last, even if regulations tighten later.

Then we get into the language that closes deals. Mark’s core rule is simple: don’t lead with “rent-to-rent” or “purchase lease option.” Instead, describe the value a property owner cares about most, like guaranteed monthly rent, no voids, fewer headaches, and a property kept in great condition. He also lays out a seller-friendly lease option conversation that can work especially well in a quiet UK property market, including how to position timelines, legal support, and specialist solicitors so the other side feels secure.

If you want more training on rent-to-rent, service accommodation, HMOs, lease options, refurb strategies, and BRR, subscribe, share this episode with a property friend, and leave a review so more investors can find it.

Most serviced accommodation “deals” look great until you price in reality: cleaning, utilities, seasonality, voids, and the time it takes to run a short-term rental business.

We walk through how we actually find good serviced accommodation opportunities and how to pressure-test the numbers so you do not end up chasing a property that only works in a spreadsheet.

We break down four clear ways to profit in serviced accommodation: converting your own property, using rent-to-rent, structuring a joint venture with an owner, or running a serviced accommodation management model for a monthly percentage. I also share why bigger units like three-beds and four-beds can outperform smaller apartments in today’s market and what that means when you are deal sourcing in competitive areas.

Then we get tactical about sourcing and stacking. If a landlord says no to rent-to-rent, you can still create value by introducing a strong short-term rental management company and earning a referral fee, turning “dead” leads into income.

We also cover how to use basic tools like RROI, how to check comparable listings on Airbnb, and why a 12-month forecast is the only honest way to judge performance in serviced accommodation.
