Landlord Decisions: Sell, Hold or Invest in Today’s Market? – Ep. 15

Welcome to this episode of The All Things Property Podcast, where Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler dig into one of the hottest topics in the current property landscape: is now really the right time for landlords to sell up, or could it be the smartest moment to hold onto your properties or even invest further?

With headlines full of chatter about landlords rushing for the exit, Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler cut through the media noise to offer honest, practical advice grounded in decades of hands-on experience in the property markets. They tackle how new regulations, market shifts and legislative changes are shaping both the challenges and opportunities for landlords today. From the realities behind dropping house prices and rising compliance costs, to why strong rental demand and less competition could actually work in favour of savvy landlords, this conversation is full of actionable insights.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor, a frustrated DIY landlord, or just considering your options, you’ll find a refreshingly real discussion about long-term planning, financial implications, and how to make calm, informed decisions rather than knee-jerk reactions.

So grab a cuppa (and wake up Ted, if you can!) as we get stuck into why holding or investing might just be your winning property play right now.
