Why Buy-to-Let Isn't Playing Out the Way People Think

Is buy-to-let really dead or are investors just looking in the wrong places? In this episode, we break down the UK property market as it stands in and cut through the noise around landlord exits, rental shortages and rising regulation. We kick things off with a snapshot of the current rental market, looking at supply levels, lending appetite and what the numbers actually say, not just the headlines. From there, we ask the big question: is London now a dead market for buy-to-let investors? We compare the capital to the regions and explain why yield, leverage and rental demand matter more than ever. We then reveal where we'd personally invest for buy-to-let, breaking down:

Why northern cities like Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool continue to outperform
The balance between yield, rental inflation and long-term growth
What the numbers look like on real-world deals

We also discuss what type of property we'd invest in, why 2–3 bed homes dominate the rental market, and how tenant demand is shifting, including the rise in higher-end rentals. Finally, we look at the impact of the Renters' Rights Act, and ask whether platforms like OpenRent are about to lose their edge as regulation, compliance and professional management become more important than ever. If you're a landlord, investor, or thinking about getting into buy-to-let, this episode will help you make sense of where the market is really heading.
