In this episode of This Property Life, Nick is joined by Sarah to unpack one of the most talked-about stories in UK property right now — the idea that the housing market is “broken”, landlords are leaving in droves… and yet, millennials are becoming the fastest-growing group of new landlords.

Following recent media coverage (including a Panorama episode and reporting in the Telegraph), we dig into what’s really happening behind the headlines — and why the reality on the ground looks very different from the narrative being pushed.

This is an honest, data-led conversation about where the UK property market is heading, who’s still investing, and what today’s investors need to understand if they want to succeed long-term.

🔍 In This Episode, We Cover:

Why millennials are now the largest group of new landlords in the UK

What the media often gets wrong about buy-to-let and property investors

How today’s investors are approaching property very differently from previous generations

Why limited companies, strategy and cashflow matter more than ever

The real impact of regulation, tax and interest rates

What the “professionalisation” of property investment actually looks like

Whether buy-to-let is really dead — or just evolving

What this means for anyone considering investing in 2025 and beyond

🧠 Key Takeaway

The property market isn’t broken — the old way of investing is.

The investors who are still succeeding are:

Strategic, not speculative

Focused on numbers, not hype

Willing to adapt to a changing market

Building long-term, sustainable portfolios

And increasingly, they’re doing it younger and smarter than ever before.

🎯 Why This Episode Matters

There’s a huge amount of noise around property right now.

This episode cuts through it.

If you’re:

Thinking about getting started

Already investing but feeling uncertain

Wondering whether property still stacks up

Or trying to make sense of conflicting media headlines

…this conversation will help you see the bigger picture.
