Worth a read for anyone involved in the private rented sector.

The landlord crisis isn’t just about landlords selling up — it’s about landlords not buying in the first place.

Buy-to-let investment is falling as landlords face higher borrowing costs, taxation, regulation and increasing risks. At the same time, the number of homes available to rent is falling and rents continue to rise.

If an existing landlord sells to another landlord, the rental property remains in the sector. But if it is sold to an owner-occupier, that rental property disappears from the available stock.

The bigger concern is the next generation of landlords simply deciding that the numbers and risks no longer make investing worthwhile.

Less investment = fewer rental properties.

Fewer rental properties = more competition between tenants.

And ultimately, that puts further pressure on rents.

You can’t continually make it harder and more expensive to provide private rented housing and then be surprised when fewer people want to provide it.

A thought-provoking article and one worth reading. 👇

What’s going on? 🤔
Every Facebook post I seem to be seeing at the moment is individuals and companies offering 1-day training courses on how to get started in property investing.
Apparently, all you need is one day, a notebook and a few hundred quid… and you’ll be a property investor! 😂
Maybe I’ve been doing it wrong all these years. 🤦‍♂️
I’ve marked myself safe from offering a property course. 😂🏠
I’ll stick to actually buying, refurbishing and renting the properties instead.

🏠 3 YEARS AGO… THIS HOUSE LOOKED VERY DIFFERENT!

Erskine Property Rentals 📍

We bought this property around 3 years ago and, to put it politely… it was in a right state! 😳😂

It needed a complete makeover, so we took it back, gave it a full refurb from top to bottom, and transformed it into a home ready for the rental market. 🔨✨

Fast forward 3 years and it’s still part of our rental portfolio! 🏡

We love taking properties that need some TLC and turning them into quality rental homes.

Would you have taken this property on? 👀

🏡 Erskine Property Rentals | Light Refurb – Day 5 🔨
Another busy day getting this rental ready for its new tenant! 👇
✨ Tidied up the front outside cupboard door and added UPVC to help protect it from the Scottish weather.
🪵 The old decking had seen better days and was rotten, so we dismantled it and replaced it with artificial grass — a much more practical, low-maintenance finish.
🏠 We’ve also decided to replace the gutters and fascia with brand-new white UPVC. These will be fitted next week, giving the outside of the property a fresh new look.
📅 Tenant moves in Tuesday! So we’re nearly there. 🙌
We don’t always need to do a full renovation — sometimes a few simple improvements can make a huge difference to a rental property.
👉 Follow Erskine Property Rentals for more renovation updates and to be the first to see our rentals when they become available!

Erskine Property Rentals
It will be sad to see this property go. It has been an amazing rental property for us over the last few years.
Unfortunately, it feels like the Government doesn’t see the bigger picture and continues to increase the tax burden on landlords.
The result? One less property available for the rental market.

From Empty to WOW! 🏡✨
Ever wondered what a difference a little dressing can make?
Here’s a look at one of our empty rooms before and after — using virtual staging to show how the space could look furnished.
Sometimes an empty room can be hard to visualise, but add the right furniture, colours and accessories and suddenly the whole space comes to life! 😍

🚨 A VERY BUSY COUPLE OF WEEKS AHEAD! 🚨

We’ve got 5 properties to work through, with plenty of painting, refreshing and getting them ready for their next chapter! 🏡🔨

First up is this 2 Bed, 2 Bath property in Erskine, which we’ve rented to the same family for over 7 years. They’ve now moved into one of our 3-bed properties, so this one is heading to the sales market on Rightmove this Wednesday. 🏡💷

Next up is a 2 Bed Mid-Terrace. It’ll get a light refurb and, even better, we already have a tenant lined up! 🙌

Then we have a 3 Bed End-Terrace that’s been rented for 3 years. A refresh is needed and we already have another tenant waiting to move in. 🔑

After that, it’s onto a 3 Bed 1st Floor Flat, which will get a refresh before being listed to rent on Rightmove. 🏠

Then… hopefully a wee break! 😂

Unless, of course, another deal comes along… 👀
