Mortgage rate increases, the cost of living crisis and legislation is causing some landlords to sell up. This means we’re seeing less properties available - with more tenants at the same time looking for properties. But it’s not doom and gloom - with savvy agents knowing how to turn issues into opportunities.

Join this webinar to hear from Megan Eighteen, Director at Location, Location and Darren Owen, Sales Manager at Infinite Property. Hosted by Goodlord CEO, William Reeve, they’ll discuss how agents can address supply issues - and find opportunities in challenging time.
