Richard Adamson is joined by Jimmy Wilson and Mark Ibbotson from the Allsop Leeds office to unpack what is really happening in regional residential investment. The small buy-to-let landlord is being regulated out, and in their place come professionalised Propcos backed by private equity, family offices and overseas ultra-high-net-worth buyers hunting scale. Jimmy and Mark talk candidly about where pricing has landed, what vendors now have to accept to get deals away, and why some stock trades while other stock stalls. They also make the case for the regions on fundamentals rather than sentiment, and each says how and where they would put £5m to work on air.
