Simon and Stuart are chatting about stories and stats that have recently caught their eyes in the property world.
The discussion this week includes:
* The recent Zoopla / Hometrack price index (https://www.hometrack.com/uk/insight/uk-house-price-index/july-2021-house-price-index/).
* How long can the current trend continue?
* Where have all the sellers gone?
* Looking at flats vs houses.
* Property transactions fell 63% from June to July (https://www.propertyreporter.co.uk/property/property-transactions-fall-63-in-july-hmrc.html).
* Legal thoughts (https://nearlylegal.co.uk/2021/07/how-to-rent-and-easy-read-updates-and-issues/) on the "easy read" version of the How to Rent Guide and when to use it.
* RRO appeal (https://nearlylegal.co.uk/2021/07/pick-the-first-landlord-up/) that may help superior landlords, see also our previous discussion of Rent Repayment Orders (https://www.thebusinessofproperty.com/81).
* Only 43 landlords on the rogue landlord database (https://www.landlordzone.co.uk/news/three-years-on-and-just-43-criminal-landlords-are-on-national-database-reveals-nrla/).
* London has it's own rogue landlord database (https://www.london.gov.uk/rogue-landlord-checker) that's public.
