For advertising your rooms, if you're doing HMOs, you're looking at open rent, you're looking at spare room.

Of course, you can use Zoopla.

You can use Rightmove as well.

You can use On The Market.

it? I wouldn't be investing in it.

LAUGHTER And, you know, we as part of our, you know, we're completely separate entities, but we as part of our investor group are obviously sister companies with Zoopla.

But we also have the relationships with On The Market and Rightmove and all the other portals.

But I don't think it's any surprise to anyone that parts of that journey are moving into your handheld agent um because they have all the context about you as well you know and you you spoke about um hallucination at the start rob

Hello.

Analysis last year by Zoopla found that building new homes is not financially viable in almost half of the areas in England.

And our own analysis of the London residential pipeline has shown that schemes are switching away from residential uses, with sites able to support at least 50,000 new homes instead switching to other sectors in the last couple of years.

So development viability is clearly becoming an increasing challenge for the delivery of new homes in England.

And yes, it means that more and more first-time buyers can afford to buy a home, but it means that people that can't afford to buy a home and want to rent aren't going to be able to.

And today Zoopla put out something saying that rents are going up at the fastest rate in three years, supply is coming down.

And so the Renters Rights Act, as we predicted, is leading to rents going up faster because the supply of available landlord properties has gone down.

And to those utter numpties and dipsticks among you going, "What happened to the landlords on the property? Did the property disappear?" It sounds so clever the first time you hear it, doesn't it? You think, "Oh, that's a really clever comment." It's, your point being that, that when the landlord sells a property up, it becomes someone's home.

after the three-year slowdown, with tenants told to expect more pain to come.

Annual rental costs for new tenancies were up 2.6% in July compared with the year earlier, according to property website Zoopla.

That remains lower than the rate of rising prices in general, but the property portal has forecast annual rent rises among privately rented homes will hit 4% or 5% by the end of the year.

It said there were fewer homes available to rent with potential first-time buyers put off by higher mortgage rates.

in how many homes are available to rent.

Growing the number of homes for rent to increase investment is the most sustainable route to boosting choices for renters and ensuring stability in rent levels over the long run.

This according to Richard Donnell, Executive Director at Zoopla.

The Renters' Rights Act came into force in England at the start of May and was described as the biggest shake-up of the sector in more than 30 years.

So it really is so important.

And, you know, just to name a few, Revolut, Zoopla, Monzo, Depop, Child's Farm, Lucky Saint, Pippinut, you know, the list goes on and on.

But I know I certainly am a customer of a lot of EIS companies just in my day-to-day life.

As well as that, I think these schemes are a really important reason why the UK is one of the world leaders when it comes to entrepreneurship and innovation.

Of course

... their Zoopla, they're on the market, they're...

So you're paying for the overhead of the business, and it's just kinda, I, I think that maybe I'm being a grumpy old man.

I feel like there should be more, maybe not more, but there should be fewer one-man bands running around trying to get a wee fee and look all glamorous on Instagram, and more people with serious businesses, like, like smart, like serious businesses doing it like, like actual business.
