In this episode:
The landlord exodus. Regulation (Renters' Reform, EPC requirements) is pushing out the smaller property investor, and even some private landlords that have accumulated real scale, with one current instruction a portfolio built up over twenty years.
Who's replacing them. Propcos with private equity behind them, professionalising management and needing larger lot sizes, alongside overseas UHNW capital treating the UK as a safe haven for medium to long term wealth preservation.
Where pricing has moved. Prime, peripheral and tertiary yields have all shifted out, and the gap between pricing expectations and the cost of money is doing the work. Jimmy and Mark put numbers on it.
Freehold trades, leasehold struggles. Straightforward freehold blocks and house portfolios hold demand; long leaseholds, broken portfolios and geographically scattered stock are far harder, with fire safety and cladding remedial costs having a material effect.
The regional case. Population, first-time buyer age, rental growth and ten-year capital growth in the major regional cities, and why the fundamentals rather than the sentiment are the argument.
Institutional appetite. PRS versus BTR, supported and social housing, and the aggregation play needed to get portfolios to pension-fund scale.
£5m, on air. Where would each of them put it, and why? Jimmy and Mark pick a strategy and a location, and they don't pick the same thing.

In this episode of Allsop’s PropChat residential Managing Partner Richard Adamson hosts Chris Brady and Aman Parekh from Allsop’s recently established Planning team, for a tour of the policy changes reshaping what's consentable and where the value sits.
What's covered
Meet the team - the remit spans early feasibility and land promotion through pre-applications, full applications and appeals, with cross-referrals across Allsop's other sectors
Making sites work - viability strategies and meanwhile uses, from padel courts and self-storage to co-living, retrofit and student accommodation
Housing delivery test, August results - roughly 93 of 330 English authorities now face the most severe measures, a 50% increase and what the presumption in favour of sustainable development means for how your application gets judged
The National Scheme of Delegation - from late October, only the most significant applications go to committee. Chris and Aman discuss the thresholds: schemes up to 49 units sit in a smaller category, while c.1,500 units or more counts as strategically significant
Draft London Plan - location-based affordable housing thresholds, mayoral call-in powers- and data centres now carrying their own policy that boroughs must recognise at plan-making stage
Where to look - the 800m station radius (and what "well connected" actually means in policy terms, roughly four services an hour), green belt and grey belt, infill plots, previously developed land and renewables on lower-grade agricultural land
Viability - NPPF wording that relaxes site-specific viability challenges, plus CIL phasing
Appeals - the burden is time rather than cost, and there is real opportunity for those with the appetite for it

In this episode of Allsop's PropChat, Residential Managing Partner Richard Adamson hosts a discussion with Allsop's Anthony Hart and Will Ramshaw - experts in the Student Housing sector - alongside Richard Ward, Head of Research at StuRents, the UK's largest student listings platform.

 

The conversation covers the journey the student housing sector has been on over the past decade: how it has matured, attracted a wider investor base and now faces a more complex set of challenges. Topics include the growing two-tier market between prime and secondary assets, the affordability crisis squeezing student budgets, the impact of international student demand (and China's shifting demographics), supply constraints that are reshaping the development pipeline and what the Renters Rights Act could mean for HMO landlords and investors alike.

 

Allsop’s inhouse offering in the sector is a comprehensive one, from sales and acquisitions to valuation work.  This episode offers a grounded, data-led view of where the market stands - and where the opportunities lie.
