A new season of Housed, Sarah, Deenie and Dan share their predictions and hopes for the shared living sector in 2025:

- The Renters’ Rights Bill - what changes will this make in 2025?
- Angela Raynor and her big hopes for building new homes with 1.5 million pledged in their first 5 years of power - What could and should be achieved in this short window? Is building, the solution or is there another way?
- Higher Education troubles and the impact on PBSA, coliving and BTR
- Affordability - will anything change this year?

We are excited to announce a new sponsor for this season, theEword - true experts in digital marketing specifically for the property sector.

We are also delighted that MyStudentHalls are continuing to sponsor the podcast, Mystudenthalls.com - Find your ideal student accommodation across the UK.

This is the 2nd part of a very special episode that we handed over to you, our lovely loyal audience. We had part one before Christmas but we had so many questions, we had to have a part 2. So this is a bonus episode created just to squeeze in even more insight, opinions and questions.

So in the spirit of fairness, we will be pulling names out of a hat to decide what we answer and in what order. And we have a strict 5 minute timer for each answer. A lot of the questions are topics we have touched on previously so if we don’t quite get deep enough into the detail, check back over our past episodes from 2024 and hopefully we will have covered it all over the course of our two seasons.

• What can be done about inconsistencies in data and is this negating true collaboration?
• How can affordability and sustainability be achieved whist still meeting the demand of customers and investors?
• How would we tackle solving the housing crisis?
• Is the sector compromising on light when looking at what to build and where to build it and do students care?
• How would we balance affordability, sustainability and investor returns if we were to build our own PBSA?
• What does the work/life balance look like for the Housed team?
• Are the amount of third-party operators trying to win business driving rent up?

This was going to be the last episode in season 2….a very special episode that we handed over to you, our lovely loyal audience. However, we had so many questions that this is going to be a two-parter with part 2 in the new year.

So in the spirit of fairness, names were pulled out of a hat to decide what we answer and in what order. And we have a strict 5 minute timer for each answer. A lot of the questions are topics we have touched on previously so if we don’t quite get deep enough into the detail, check back over our past episodes from 2024 and hopefully we will have covered it all over the course of our two seasons.

• Does the design of PBSA need a reinvention?
• When are the people that make the sector what it is get the support, limelight and pay they deserve?
• What is the uncomfortable truth in the sector no one is talking about?
• Are key decisions in PBSA being influenced by Higher Education data?
• Would blanket coliving planning consent instead of PBSA help solve the housing crisis?
