Welcome to another episode of The Investors Corner with your hosts Mike and Andy! In this episode, we dive deep into the dynamics of the Oxford property market with our special guest, Sherko Zen-Aloush, a renowned property expert from Oxford.
Episode Highlights
Market Trends and Student Preferences: Students are becoming more selective about their living conditions, opting for modern and well-located properties. This shift is largely driven by the substantial debt burden they carry, making them willing to pay higher rents for better accommodation.
Oxford's Property Market: Oxford's property market remains robust, bolstered by its prominent hospitals, universities, and the BMW Mini plant. The city attracts both students and professionals, creating a lucrative environment for landlords.
Challenges in Student Lettings: While student rentals can be highly profitable, they come with challenges such as the need for guarantors due to students' lack of employment. The competition from university accommodations also sets high standards for landlords.
Investment Advice: Investing in HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) in Oxford can yield substantial profits, especially in areas with lower HMO saturation. However, it's crucial for potential investors to thoroughly research local regulations and market conditions.
Property Standards and Management: Many HMOs in Oxford require significant upgrades to meet student expectations. Effective property management and maintaining high standards can lead to longer tenancies and increased rental income.
Landlord Advice: Landlords are advised to reinvest in their properties to remain competitive and meet rising tenant expectations. Collaborating with reliable agents can also enhance property management and tenant satisfaction.
Meet our guest
Sherko Zen-Aloush is a seasoned property agent at Avocado Property Agents. With extensive experience in the Oxford property market, Sherko brings a wealth of knowledge, particularly in the student and professional accommodation sectors. You can learn more about Sherko and his expertise here.

In this episode of The Investors Corner, hosts Ian, Mike, and Andy delve into the latest developments affecting landlords and investors in the South East of the UK. They provide a comprehensive analysis of the recent election results, the state of the housing market, political promises, and economic predictions. This episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice for both new and experienced investors.
Election Results and Impact on Landlords
The recent election saw the Labour Party win with fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn received five years ago, marking the first change of government in 14 years. The hosts discuss how this political shift might influence the rate at which landlords are exiting the market.Housing Market and Landlord Dynamics
There's a notable imbalance between the supply and demand of rental homes, creating a challenging environment for both landlords and tenants. Despite new policies, it's still uncertain whether landlords will decide to exit or retain their properties in the market.Political Promises and Concerns
Labour's manifesto includes an ambitious plan to build 150,000 social houses annually, but there are concerns regarding the funding and overall feasibility of this promise. Potential implementation of emergency legislation, particularly around Section 21 notices, raises further questions and concerns among landlords.Market Dynamics Pre-Election
Prior to the election, there was a slight increase in mortgage rates and housing supply. Investors are advised to maintain their current strategies until more concrete policies are established.Social Housing Plans
Labour plans a significant investment in social housing to potentially replace private landlords, though specific execution details remain unclear.Economic Predictions
Behavioural economist Roger Martin Fagor predicts a 1.5% economic growth this year. The existing demand-supply imbalance in rental homes could be advantageous for landlords in the long run. Key Insights 150,000 social houses/year: Labour's target for new social housing construction. ÂŁ19 billion/year: Estimated cost for Labour's social housing plan, raising concerns about funding. 68%: Percentage of people more interested in the Euros than the election, indicating a general public disinterest in political changes. 60-55% voter turnout: Shows a significant portion of the population is disillusioned with the electoral process.

In this episode of The Investors Corner, Andy, Mike, and Ian delve into the housing policies and tax cuts promised by various political parties. We kick off with a discussion on the recent promises focusing on housing and business tax cuts. Nigel Farage's political tactics are highlighted, drawing comparisons to Trump for his effective audience targeting.
Election Insights | The panel provides insights into the upcoming election, touching on betting scandals and notable events like Keir Starmer's appearance at a Taylor Swift concert. They speculate on potential outcomes and the promises made by different parties.
Conservative Manifesto | A breakdown of the Conservative party's housing policies reveals promises to increase the stamp duty cap for first-time buyers, tackle climate change in houses, and offer temporary capital gains tax relief for landlords selling to tenants. The panel critiques these policies, noting past promises with minimal results.
Labour Manifesto | We examine Labour's housing policies, including plans to abolish Section 21, empower tenants to challenge unreasonable rent increases, and ensure private rented houses meet minimum energy efficiency standards by 2030. The panel finds Labour's manifesto promising but remains skeptical about its implementation.
Reform Party Proposals | Nigel Farage and the Reform Party propose a stamp duty ban up to ÂŁ750k, changes to inheritance tax, and business tax cuts. The populist nature of these proposals is noted, along with questions about their feasibility.
Green and Lib Dem Policies | An overview of the housing policies from the Green Party and Liberal Democrats, focusing on rent control, energy efficiency improvements, and abolishing residential leaseholds. The panel considers these proposals ambitious but lacking in practical details.
Investment Advice | We conclude with advice for property investors, recommending the purchase of stable properties like three-bedroom semis with potential for extension. The importance of investing in properties with low void periods and good rental returns is emphasized.
Insights Based on Numbers: Stamp Duty Increase: The stamp duty cap for first-time buyers is proposed to increase to ÂŁ425,000 (from ÂŁ250,000). The panel notes that 5% of ÂŁ175,000 isn't a substantial amount. Capital Gains Tax Relief: A temporary 2-year capital gains tax relief for landlords selling to tenants is mentioned, with questions about the frequency of such transactions and potential loopholes. Housing Targets: Labour's target to build 1.5 million houses over the next Parliament is highlighted, with a reminder of past missed goals.Enjoyed this episode?
