In this week's episode of the Property Investors Podcast, Russell and Anna Leeds discuss the growing issue of empty homes in England and why they aren't being used to alleviate the housing crisis. They explore the statistics reported by the BBC, which reveal there are 720,000 empty homes in England, with more than 250,000 of them being long-term vacant. They deliberate on why these homes are left derelict and the potential strategies for utilizing these properties. The discussion includes government policies, potential penalties for derelict properties, and the incentive structures needed to encourage property redevelopment. Additionally, they touch upon the rumors of a new property tax on homes worth over £500,000 and its implications. Finally, the hosts provide insights into how property entrepreneurs can profit while contributing to solving the housing crisis.
