Mark My Words Podcast

This episode is taken from the recent property network revolution event, where Mark takes questions from property investors and business owners. Mark answers questions on the current political climate and what this might mean for the economy, the property market and entrepreneurs and businesses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Labour still has a lot of left wing MPs in the party, convincing them to vote in more centrist policies will be a challenge for Kier Starmer.
• Whilst labour may now increase national insurance of income tax, they will find ways to stealth tax.
• Look at post war Britain, prior to Thatcher, shows the problems with rent controls and we are starting to see these issues again with the controls that have been brought in with legislation in Scotland.
• One way the country could help tenants and landlords and begin to solve supply and demand problems in housing is by reforming the planning system.
• Local planning regulations, with zones and permitted development within these would speed up planning processes and consent
• Whilst it may not be popular, someone in politics needs to make some tough decisions around planning and development so we can solve the housing crisis.
