Fresh from holiday, Riz shares his thoughts on Rachel Reeves’ looming budget, landlord tax rumours, and the possibility of National Insurance being charged on rental income. The trio debate whether these moves are designed to push landlords into selling to tenants, or part of a bigger shift towards institutional ownership of UK housing. With tinfoil hats firmly in place, they explore parallels with the World Economic Forum’s “you will own nothing” narrative, Gary Stevenson’s prediction of house prices doubling, and the uncomfortable reality of a housing supply crisis that shows no sign of being fixed. The conversation turns practical as they discuss how brokers can prepare clients for portfolio restructuring, CGT risks, and the opportunities for tenants if a landlord sell-off accelerates. They also stress the importance of financial education, partnerships with IFAs, and using social media to educate rather than sell. Later, the hosts welcome Jamie Lawless, CEO of Lendwell , to discuss their new AI-driven CRM platform set to launch in the UK. Jamie explains how poor-quality data inspired the project, why legacy systems are holding brokers back, and how AI can drastically cut processing time, improve client experience, and transform conveyancing. The episode closes with hot topics on down-valuations, slow commission payments, and why consistency is the key to success—whether on social media or in podcasting.
