Rob looks at eight renewable energy ideas for homes, while critically examining the practicality of each suggestion. Drawing from an article by The Eco Expert, he highlights the disconnect between eco-friendly initiatives and the realities faced by homeowners, particularly in urban settings.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Many renewable energy ideas, such as solar panels and heat pumps, may not be practical for the majority of homeowners, especially those living in urban or terraced houses without suitable roof space or insulation.
The installation costs of renewable energy systems can be significant, and not everyone has the financial means readily available to invest in these technologies.
Technologies like domestic wind turbines and biomass heating systems may only be feasible in rural areas or for those with specific property types, making them unsuitable for most urban residents.
There is a concern that eco companies may promote renewable energy solutions that are not universally applicable, potentially driven by government subsidies rather than genuine practicality for the average homeowner.

BEST MOMENTS

"The information that they're pushing out, and then the reality of this, or the reality of the implementation, are two different things."

"If you don't have the right roof or pointing in the right direction, it can be quite difficult and not everyone is going to have X amount of pounds just sat in the bank."

"If your other insulation measures aren't up to scratch, i.e. you live in an old home, it's got solid walls, there's no insulation on them, then you are very likely not going to benefit from having a heat pump."

"You try installing a domestic wind turbine in a set of mid-terrace properties. I imagine that is not going to help at all."

5 top lessons from 5 years of podcasting 14:19

約 14 日前14:19

14:19

In the penultimate episode of the show, Rob reflects on five top lessons learned from over five years of podcasting, emphasising the importance of having a clear goal, maintaining consistency by never missing an episode, and being authentic to oneself throughout the journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's essential to define the purpose of your podcast. Whether it's to build a brand, connect with customers, or simply share your interests, having a clear goal will guide your content and strategy. Consistency is crucial in podcasting. Sticking to a regular schedule helps build trust and rapport with your audience, ensuring they know when to expect new content. Authenticity resonates with listeners. Embrace your personality and experiences, as being genuine helps foster a deeper connection with your audience. Be open to evolving your podcast based on feedback and changing circumstances. Experimenting with different formats or topics can enhance your content and keep it fresh. Effective branding is vital for recognition. Utilise merchandise and maintain consistent branding across platforms to create touchpoints that help listeners identify and engage with your podcast. BEST MOMENTS "When you get started in podcasting, it is very important to understand why you're doing it." "In five years, we have never missed an episode because listeners love consistency." "The key thing is just to be yourself. And hopefully that natural ambience has come through in the content." "Never be afraid to adapt and to change if necessary." "Do brand yourself properly. Make sure the branding is consistent across all your social medias."

The future of housing is price positive 15:12

約 17 日前15:12

15:12

Rob looks at the future of housing in the UK, emphasising the fundamental principles of supply and demand., examining the ongoing challenges in the housing market, including the impact of government policies, labor shortages, and inflation on property prices and rents. KEY TAKEAWAYS The fundamental principle of supply and demand plays a crucial role in the housing market. When demand exceeds supply, prices are likely to rise, while an oversupply can lead to price decreases. Historical evidence suggests that rent controls do not effectively manage housing prices. Attempts to cap prices often lead to unintended consequences, such as increased rents in social housing. To address the housing crisis, there is a pressing need for the government to significantly increase the supply of homes. Building 300,000 homes annually is essential to meet demand, but current labor shortages and policy inconsistencies hinder this goal. Impact of Inflation on Housing: Inflation tends to push up asset prices, including housing. While there may be market corrections, the long-term trend indicates that housing prices will generally rise due to inflationary pressures. Importance of Market Understanding: Investors should prioritise understanding the economic factors influencing the housing market. Knowledge of market cycles, timing, and economic principles is vital for making informed investment decisions and avoiding potential pitfalls. BEST MOMENTS "If you try and tinker too much with supply and demand then the chances are it's going to backfire on you." "The one way to fix house prices, if that is what needs fixing, is by building, building, building, and building it down quickly." "Inflation is probably the ultimate tax of them all... it will push up the price of an asset." "Demand for housing in the UK is going to be far higher than supply for a very, very long time."

Will commercial property rebound moving forwards? 14:02

約 21 日前14:02

14:02

Rob talks about the current state and future prospects of the commercial property market, contrasting it with the residential sector discussed in previous episodes, reflecting on the market's trajectory from the post-financial crisis boom to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, including shifts in work culture and rising mortgage rates. KEY TAKEAWAYS Commercial Property Market Challenges: The commercial property sector is facing significant challenges due to cultural shifts towards remote work, leading to lower occupancy rates and potential financial strain on landlords. Impact of Rising Mortgage Rates: Many property owners who secured low mortgage rates between 2010 and 2021 may face difficulties as they refinance at much higher rates, which could lead to increased financial pressure and potential property sales. Skepticism Towards Economic Data: There is a strong belief that the economic data being reported is misleading, with a suggestion that the UK economy is not as healthy as portrayed, which could lead to a downturn in the commercial property sector. Opportunities Amidst Challenges: Despite the negative outlook for the commercial property market, there may be opportunities for investors to acquire properties at lower prices, especially as more buildings become available due to financial distress among owners. BEST MOMENTS "Commercial property is something that we have touched upon on the Property Nomads podcast as well because things aren't quite adding up." "If you're a landlord and your tenancy is a bit mass ominous, more or less 50-50, and your mortgage rate is gonna double or treble, that's more going out of your back pocket." "I think that the commercial property sector is at some point going to collapse." "Although people will say, you know, the markets are in recovery, I disagree with that sentiment. I think it's going to go the other way." "If there are potentially more commercial units that need to be filled... this provides opportunities for buyers."

The top 7 TPN podcasts that you need to listen to 11:37

約 24 日前11:37

11:37

Rob talks about the top seven most popular episodes based on download numbers, highlighting the valuable insights shared by various guests. From monetising podcasts with Robin Pearson to exploring tax-efficient strategies for self-administered pension schemes with Simon King, each episode offers a wealth of knowledge for property enthusiasts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Episode 114 discusses various ways to monetise a podcast, including subscription services, platforms like Substack, and Patreon, emphasising that there are multiple avenues for podcasters to generate income. Several episodes feature expert guests who share their extensive knowledge on specific property topics, such as Buy-to-Lets, flipping properties, and utilising self-administered pension schemes (SAS) for property investment. The episodes mentioned contain valuable and relevant information that remains applicable over time, although listeners are advised to verify details due to potential changes in regulations and market conditions. BEST MOMENTS "No matter whenever you get started in podcasting, there is always a way in which you can monetise" "We look at the do's and don'ts of SASes, and how you can make it tax efficient with regards to property investing." "It wasn't just a case of buy a regular house, renovate and sell; we also went into how you can flip land." "If you're just starting in property, maybe London is not the place for you to start."

UK + EU Commercial Property Latest + Lead Surveys Proposed 11:44

約 28 日前11:44

11:44

Rob provides an insightful overview of the current state of the EU and UK commercial property markets, highlighting a notable recovery in real estate investment in the EU during the latter half of 2024, with a shift in investor focus towards hotels and warehouses due to the growth of e-commerce. KEY TAKEAWAYS After a quiet start to 2023 and 2024, real estate investment in the EU has shown signs of recovery, particularly in the second half of 2024, with a shift in investor focus towards hotels and warehouses due to the growth of e-commerce. UK commercial property investment increased by 26% in 2024, with significant deals such as Abu Dhabi's Modon Holdings acquiring a major office complex in London, indicating a positive trend in the market. The office sector in both the EU and UK has experienced a decline in investment, attributed to the rise of hybrid working models, with a reported 10% drop in the EU and a slight decrease in the UK. England's housing ombudsman has proposed mandatory lead surveys for properties to assess health risks associated with lead exposure, raising concerns about the potential costs and implications for property demand and ownership. Upcoming episodes of the podcast will recap key insights from the past five to six years, discuss the future of commercial and residential property in the UK, and share lessons learned from podcasting as a tool for business growth and investment generation. BEST MOMENTS "Investors... have started to shift their focus to hotels and apartments. They're putting more investment into things such as warehouses as they are betting on higher growth in e-commerce." "The office sector... recorded a 10% drop in investment in 2024. And that is its worst year since 2009." "UK property investment... jumped 26% in 2024. That is obviously good news." "Lead has been used quite a lot because it could be used in flashing... and of course, if you start inhaling such things, that could be quite toxic to your health." "Trying to introduce mandatory testing is, I think, probably a step too far. And again, it's just adding another cost, another thing to the process."

Gold, Trumps tariffs + potential impact on UK 15:42

4 weeks前15:42

15:42

Rob looks at the potential impact of Trump's tariffs on the UK, exploring the complexities of international trade and the economic implications for both countries. The discussion highlights the nuances of tariffs, using relatable examples to explain how they affect consumers and businesses. Additionally, the episode shifts focus to the rising value of gold, examining its significance as a hedge against economic instability and inflation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Impact of Trump's Tariffs: The potential imposition of tariffs by Trump on the UK may not be as detrimental as it seems. While tariffs increase costs for consumers, the actual impact on the UK economy could be mitigated by the nature of trade relationships and the surplus the UK has with the USA. Understanding Tariffs: A tariff increases the price of imported goods, which affects consumers in the importing country rather than the exporters. For example, a 25% tariff on a $100 product would raise the cost to $125 for UK consumers. Gold as an Investment: Gold prices have significantly increased over the past 14 to 16 months, reaching around $2,900 per ounce. This rise is indicative of broader economic trends, including inflation and currency devaluation. Diversification of Assets: With potential economic instability, diversifying investments, including holding physical gold and silver, is recommended as a protective measure against financial crises. Resources for Gold Investment: For those interested in investing in gold, recommended resources include Sharps Pixley, Chards, and Bullion by Post, which provide options for purchasing physical gold. BEST MOMENTS "If Trump puts in a tariff on the UK, then basically it's not necessarily detrimental to the UK because it's going to affect the American consumer because they're going to have to pay more." "Gold going up also means that the value of your fiat currency is going down." "What could happen from there is that could cause financial catastrophe for the UK." "This is why having a bit of diversification is useful and this is why gold and silver are well loved by a lot of people."

House prices up 4.1% YoY + 15,000 new homes needed in THIS area 6:25

5 weeks前6:25

6:25

Rob discusses the recent trends in UK house prices, highlighting a modest increase of 0.1% in January, bringing the average price to £268,213, with a year-on-year growth of 4.1%. The episode delves into the implications of rising mortgage rates and the potential impact of upcoming decisions from the Bank of England. Additionally, Rob emphasises the significance of infrastructure projects, particularly the new railway between Oxford and Cambridge, which is projected to necessitate 15,000 new homes annually to support growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS In January, the average house price in the UK rose to £268,213, reflecting a 0.1% increase from the previous month and a 4.1% increase year-on-year, although this is slightly lower than the 4.7% rise recorded in December. Mortgage Rates Impact: The slower-than-expected house price growth is attributed to rising mortgage rates, with upcoming discussions on rates by the Bank of England expected to influence future trends. Infrastructure Development: The Oxford to Cambridge arc is highlighted as a significant area for potential growth, with a new railway being constructed and a projected need for 15,000 new homes annually to support high growth. Investment Opportunities: Investors are encouraged to explore areas along the new railway route between Oxford and Cambridge, as infrastructure improvements typically lead to increased property values and development opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "The average house price... is £268,213 and that is up 0.1% from the previous month and that's a 4.1% increase year on year." "Research by Public First for the Oxford Cambridge Supercluster Board believes that actually 15,000 homes a year on average will be needed in order to reach a high growth trajectory." "Just because the report says that they need X amount of homes per year, that does not mean that those homes will get built." "Looking at infrastructure projects throughout the UK are very important because, again, it gives you an idea of what's going on and what's likely to come up as well."

New UK infrastructure projects + why this benefits housing 9:23

5 weeks前9:23

9:23

Rob discusses recent announcements made by Chancellor Rachel Reeves regarding significant government investments in infrastructure across the UK. The episode highlights key projects such as the expansion of Heathrow Airport, the development of Europe's Silicon Valley between Oxford and Cambridge, and the redevelopment of Old Trafford, home of Manchester United. Rob talks about how these infrastructure improvements can positively impact the housing market, suggesting that property investors should pay close attention to these developments. KEY TAKEAWAYS The UK government has announced significant investments in infrastructure, including the expansion of Heathrow Airport and improvements to various rail and road links, which are expected to positively impact the housing market. The development of East West Rail between Oxford and Cambridge is projected to add £78 billion to the UK economy over the next decade, highlighting the importance of transportation links in driving economic growth and housing demand. Potential changes to the planning and infrastructure bill could simplify the process for obtaining planning permissions, facilitating more development projects and potentially increasing housing supply. Major infrastructure projects, such as the redevelopment of Old Trafford and the lower Thames crossing, could lead to increased housing demand and property values in surrounding areas, making them important considerations for property investors. BEST MOMENTS "The biggest announcement was the Heathrow expansion... To have a third runway at Heathrow would be very, very suitable." "If you are looking to buy or you're looking for long-term growth, buying in and around these areas with major infrastructure projects might be quite beneficial." "The government are looking at making some changes to the planning and infrastructure bill... that might make planning permissions a lot easier." "If there is a new road tunnel going between Tilbury and Gravesend, have a look at the surrounding areas and the potential impact that that could have." "When we're looking at infrastructure projects around the UK, it's important to bear in mind what's going on, because that can have a massive impact on your investment decisions."

72.5m population by 2032 + criminal council tax hikes 8:25

6 weeks前8:25

8:25

Rob discusses two significant topics affecting the UK: projected net migration and its impact on the population, as well as alarming council tax hikes across various regions. The Office for National Statistics forecasts that the UK population will rise to 72.5 million by 2032, primarily driven by net migration, which could lead to increased demand for housing. Rob encourages listeners to consider investing in property, emphasising that a growing population will necessitate more housing. KEY TAKEAWAYS The UK population is expected to rise to 72.5 million by 2032, marking a 7.3% increase over the decade, primarily driven by net migration. An increasing population will likely lead to a higher demand for housing, which presents opportunities for those looking to invest in property despite prevailing negative sentiments about the housing market. Council Tax Hikes: Significant council tax increases are planned in various regions, with some councils proposing hikes as high as 25%, which could affect nearly 4 million residents. Financial Mismanagement: Many local councils, particularly in the South, are facing financial difficulties, with some declaring bankruptcy due to mismanagement of public funds, leading to increased tax burdens on constituents. Call for Efficiency: There is a need for local councils to streamline operations and reduce workforce sizes to improve efficiency, drawing parallels to successful practices in the private sector, such as those implemented by Elon Musk at X. BEST MOMENTS "Net migration is to push the UK population up to 72.5 million, a projected population growth of 7.3% between 2022 and 2032." "If the population is set to increase sustainably, then from a housing point of view, that could be quite beneficial." "Council tax hikes are going to be taking place from April, and it seems that councils are really taking the piss." "We've been taken for a ride in the UK, and it's really not good. It's not healthy by any stretch of the imagination."

This is why 1.5m homes WILL NOT get built by 2029 15:15

6 weeks前15:15

15:15

Rob looks into the ambitious target set by the current Labour government to build 1.5 million homes by 2029, highlighting the significant challenges posed by a shortage of skilled labor in the construction industry. He covers the various trades needed for housing projects, the impact of Brexit on the workforce, and the government's acknowledgment of a "dire shortage" of construction workers. KEY TAKEAWAYS The UK is facing a significant shortage of skilled construction workers, including bricklayers, plumbers, and electricians, which poses a challenge to the government's target of building 1.5 million homes by 2029. The lack of skilled labor has been attributed in part to Brexit, which has affected the availability of workers from abroad, further complicating the situation in the construction industry. Addressing the skills shortage and meeting housing targets requires a long-term strategy, including incentives for trades and support for small businesses, rather than quick fixes. The imbalance between housing supply and demand is likely to lead to rising property prices, which could benefit current property owners and investors but does not resolve the underlying issues in the housing market. There is a need for a national housing strategy that encourages more people to enter trades and supports small businesses, emphasising the importance of tax incentives and a coherent approach to infrastructure development. BEST MOMENTS "The UK doesn't have enough builders for Labour's 1.5 million homes." "We have a lack of skilled people in the country at the moment... and of course, they blamed Brexit as well." "If the government want to build 1.5 million homes by 2029, it's very unlikely that's going to happen." "We need more people in the trades. We need the country to be better at promoting and helping small businesses." "What needs to happen are more tax incentives for people to get into becoming tradespeople in the first place."

5 plants to avoid in housing 9:27

7 weeks前9:27

9:27

Rob lists the five plants that homeowners, landlords, and tenants should avoid due to their potential negative impact on properties. The episode highlights invasive species such as Japanese knotweed, bamboo, rhododendron, buddleia, and English ivy, detailing how these plants can cause structural damage, compete for resources, and complicate mortgage and insurance processes. KEY TAKEAWAYS Japanese Knotweed: This invasive plant grows rapidly and can penetrate through soil and concrete, leading to potential structural damage. It's crucial to identify it during house viewings, as it can complicate mortgage approvals. Bamboo: Known as the fastest-growing plant, bamboo can quickly overtake gardens and disrupt paving, patios, and driveways due to its strong root system. While it can be aesthetically pleasing, it requires careful management. Rhododendron: These plants can grow very large and compete for light and nutrients with other plants. They are also toxic to dogs, making them a concern for pet owners renting properties. Buddleia: Although visually appealing, buddleias can grow in hard-to-reach areas like chimney stacks and roofs, leading to potential damage and water ingress. They produce a significant number of seeds, which can contribute to their invasive nature. English Ivy: Commonly seen on buildings, English ivy can spread rapidly and infiltrate cracks in structures, causing water ingress and structural issues. While it adds aesthetic value, it can pose risks to the integrity of a home. BEST MOMENTS "The first plant to really watch out for is Japanese knotweed... it can force its way into anywhere basically." "Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world... the roots can overtake a garden, it can push up paving slabs, patios, driveways." "Rhododendrons can grow to be very, very big... and also the plants are poisonous to dogs." "Even small buddleias are capable of producing over one million seeds a year... they can become quite invasive." "English ivy... its roots will go through cracks in the structures... leading to all forms of water ingress and structural issues potentially for the home."

Energy policy latest incl. Heat Pumps & Gas Boilers 13:24

7 weeks前13:24

13:24

Rob looks into the contentious topic of heat pumps versus gas boilers within the context of the UK's energy policy. With a critical eye, he discusses the government's shifting stance on energy solutions, including the potential abandonment of plans to ban new gas boilers by 2035. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a strong skepticism regarding the effectiveness of heat pumps in the UK, particularly due to the age and structure of much of the housing stock, which may not be suitable for such systems. The UK government's energy policies have been inconsistent, with frequent changes regarding the ban on gas boilers and the push for heat pumps, leading to confusion and uncertainty in the housing market. The financial burden of transitioning to heat pumps or other energy-efficient systems is a significant concern, as the costs can be prohibitive for many homeowners, especially when compared to traditional gas boilers. There is a call for increased investment in various energy sources, including fossil fuels and nuclear power, to ensure affordable energy and support economic growth, rather than solely focusing on green policies. A more stable and affordable energy policy could lead to increased disposable income for consumers, allowing them to make more choices regarding energy systems, including potentially opting for heat pumps in the future. BEST MOMENTS "It's important to have a look at the latest news because that can impact the long-term housing plan for this country." "When you look and realize that most of our housing stock in the UK consists of some form of late Victorian or early Edwardian, heat pumps are not suitable for the housing stock in general." "If you give someone an option of installing a heat pump that may or may not work at the cost of say 10,000 pounds, or they can get a new gas boiler for say 5,000 pounds, most people are gonna go down the gas boiler route." "The current energy policy is not very good, to put it in a polite way." "We need more energy. We need more nuclear. We need more gas. We need more oil. More of those things are gonna drive our economy."

Rightmove says there's a new property boom. I disagree... 10:03

8 weeks前10:03

10:03

Rob looks at the recent announcement by Rightmove regarding potential housing boom areas for 2025, contrasting it with the current decline in property prices in London. He delves into the latest data from Halifax, which shows a year-to-date increase of 3.3% in UK housing prices, and explore the implications of a 26% rise in new property listings compared to the previous year. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rightmove has reported a significant increase in property listings, claiming a new property boom is underway, with listings up by 26% compared to the same time last year. The increase in listings does not necessarily indicate a property boom; it could reflect various factors such as landlords selling due to economic pressures, homeowners testing the market, or seasonal trends following the quieter months of November and December. The Southeast has the highest number of new listings, followed by the East of England and the Southwest, indicating regional variations in market activity. The ongoing imbalance between high demand for housing and low supply is a fundamental driver of price increases, as evidenced by the Halifax reporting a 3.3% year-on-year increase in housing prices. BEST MOMENTS "Rightmove have announced some housing boom areas for 2025... it's interesting to see that Rightmove have, to an extent, almost countered that with their latest information." "They do say that listings... have jumped by 26% in comparison to this time last year." "If there are a lot more homes hitting the market, that doesn't necessarily indicate the start of a new property boom." "When you're dealing with the fundamentals of supply and demand, that's what happens. Weak supply, big demand, demand outstrips supply, prices go up." "Take it with a pinch of salt when you read that there could be a new property boom happening."

Bank of England playing chicken with the mortgage market 9:49

8 weeks前9:49

9:49

Rob looks at the complexities surrounding the Bank of England's current monetary policy, particularly its base rate, which is held at 4.75%. With the next decision set for February 6, 2025, Rob highlights the challenges posed by persistent inflation, currently reported at 2.6%, and the implications for the mortgage and property markets. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Bank of England has maintained the base rate at 4.75%, with the next decision scheduled for February 6, 2025. There are concerns about the potential for sticky and rising inflation, which complicates the decision-making process regarding interest rates. The official inflation rate is reported at 2.6%, but there is skepticism about this figure. Many believe that actual inflation is higher, especially when considering everyday expenses like fuel and groceries. The economic environment is characterised by persistent inflation and flatlining growth. The recent autumn budget has raised concerns about stagflation, where the economy experiences stagnant growth alongside high inflation. This situation poses significant challenges for the Bank of England in managing monetary policy. The Bank faces a difficult choice: keeping interest rates high to combat inflation could harm the mortgage and housing markets, while lowering rates might exacerbate inflation and create a housing bubble. This creates a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. BEST MOMENTS "The Bank of England held rates at 4.75%. The official inflation rate... is at 2.6%. But if you put fuel in your car or go to the supermarket, you're probably finding that prices are going up a little bit more than that." "They're almost in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation... If they keep rates up to deal with inflation, then mortgages and the housing market might struggle." "Rachel Reeves also somehow managed to produce a budget that was inflationary and possibly at the same time deflationary. I'm not sure I've ever seen that before in my life." "Energy is the economy. Without being self-sustained in energy, that's going to lead to all sorts of issues." "If you lower rates, I just think it's gonna lead to a much bigger drop moving forward."
