Some key takeaways:

➡️ The housing market faces challenges with new fiscal policies, such as the furnished holiday let adjustments and the freeze on lower income tax brackets, which could lead to an increase in property supply without addressing buyer demand.

➡️  Despite the tough market conditions, there are opportunities for growth and effective cash management, with strategies like running a lean business and focusing on revenue-generating activities.

➡️ Estate agents need to adapt to policy changes by continuing marketing efforts to build stock and prepare for potential future demand in the property market.

Some great moments:

✅ “There's a lot of holiday lets, that just aren't washing their face!  The owners only holiday let them so that they can justify it to themselves financially”
✅ “If I can't get three million for it, I'm not going to sell this year!”

✅ “Instructions are cheap at the moment, so they're easy to get, easy to win, easy to poach!”
