It took New Zealand's housing policy 7 years to see results. Although it's never too late, it will take time to have multiple units of housing built on single family lots in Metro Vancouver. As such, there needs to be a multi-pronged approach to solving the housing supply issue. One of those approaches is for the Federal government to bring back accelerated depreciation, capital gains deferral, GST exemption and other incentives similar to those offered in the 1970's. With a lull in condo construction at present, this is the perfect time for the private sector to switch from building condos to building purpose built rental housing.

Lack of knowledge remains the biggest challenge for the build-to-rent sector https://lnkd.in/ev_Zsy6j #Property #HousingMarket #BuildToRent

Fake housing societies are unlicensed and often illegal residential or commercial enterprises that pose as legitimate real estate developments. They operate outside the reach of regulatory authorities and disregard the required approvals, NOCs (No Objection Certificates), and compliance for authorised buildings. These rogue developers take advantage of the rising need for inexpensive housing, attracting potential purchasers with promises of prime locations, appealing facilities, and enticing payment options. #FakeHousingSocieties #FraudulentSchemes #InfrastructureDevelopment #InvestmentProtection #LegalityIssues #PakistanRealEstate #PublicAwarenessCampaigns #RealEstateLiteracy #RealEstateRisks #RegulatoryAuthoritiesEmpowerment #UnlawfulHousingSocieties https://lnkd.in/dweRtZxV

Our report on the Future of Scotland’s Residential Rental provides an overview of the current imbalance between supply and demand in the Scottish residential rental market and specifically focuses on the government's proposal for PRS rent controls. This focused report highlights the factors contributing to high rent pressures and increased stress in securing tenancies, with demand far outstripping the supply of rented homes. Although our members believe any form of rent control is seen as a disincentive to investment, we make recommendations ahead of the expected introduction of the Housing Bill in the next parliamentary session that is set to include PRS rent control provisions. This is done with the aim of identifying measures that can restore investor confidence to bring forward vitally needed new, modern, private rented homes to Scotland.

Australia is feeling the full effects of the housing crisis. Having had discussions with family and friends about this prominent topic over the last few days it seems common knowledge that the issue is down to the supply of housing. While all stakeholders are looking for solutions, very few of the solutions will provide immediate relief. Zoning permits, building approvals and other necessities take time, and the private sector needs to see adequate attraction to invest in building more housing. Rental ceilings/freezes may alleviate the cost of living crunch for residents, but it would render the investment opportunity less attractive. "Double-edged sword" truly is the appropriate term. Would a cap on annual increases of renewed lease agreements be a sufficient middle ground, or be as negative as a blanket rental freeze approach?

New Zealand’s housing crisis is real, but a boost to Build-to-Rent housing looks promising. New legislative changes aim to enhance Build-to-Rent housing and streamline the process for overseas investors, significantly increasing the supply of rental properties for Kiwis. 🇳🇿 BTR developments, common overseas but rare in NZ, are set to provide more warm, dry homes. Property Council NZ research indicates that with this support, developers could construct 25,000 Build-to-Rent homes in the next decade. 🗞️Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q02FXZm50 . . . #BuildToRent #NZHousing #PropertyInvestment #RentalDevelopment #SustainableHousing #RealEstateInnovation
