The government seems determined to squeeze landlords dry, making returns increasingly slim. 

Rising costs, complex regulations, and uncertain market conditions make property investment look more like a financial trap than a wealth-building strategy.

So is UK property still worth the hassle in 2025? 

In this week's show, Mark Morris shares his opinion.

Mark Morris has been a property investor for more than 20 years. 

He built an international income generating portfolio not just in his native Greater Manchester but also in Scotland, Wales and the U.S.

In the episode, we discuss:

  • The Impact of Regulation & Legislation
  • Softening Rents & Market Trends
  • The Role of Letting Agents
  • Lessons from the 2008 Financial Crisis
  • Pivoting to Local Housing Authority (LHA) Tenants
  • The Importance of Education & Mindset
  • Shiny Penny Syndrome & Analysis Paralysis
  • The Myth of Passive Incoome
  • Long-Term Planning & Diversification
