Hello everyone and welcome to the Property Podcast. This is episode 197.

And yes, we are near the end of 2016.

So in this episode, we look back It's kind of one giant resource of the week and seeing as that's one of the most popular sections of the show, hopefully this will be a popular episode.

It's been a weird year in general for the world I think we can say, but it's been a good year for us and a year in which we found loads of interesting things across books

Podcasts apps and other kind of general stuff. We're going to be sharing all our highlights in this episode

First though, shock horror, Bitalet is officially over. Some data has come out, which you absolutely cannot argue with. Time to shut up a shop and go home over to you Rob

yeah a bit of a bummer this to end the year on this one guys let you know by

to let's done and dusted but hey ho here's the new story the headline of this particular story says,

Shock as sales of Bightalat Landlords are decimated by nearly 65% in a year.

Wow, I guess we can safely say we're all done dusted but the first line goes on to say the government's war on landlords has seen by

sales collapse 64% in 12 months and 8.2% on a monthly basis in November alone.

Wows us gosh. I'm glad someone told me. yeah, I mean guess we'd so nearly made it to

episode 200 but 197 will have to be it now. That's it's over. Okay, we'll have a

great year in 2017 everyone, bye no oh wait there there's more to this

article isn't a rob yeah there is so you read past the first couple of

paragraphs what's the source of this data? One firm of estate agents. One firm of

estate agents has had not the best year. This is Hart. And this decline, the figure

comes from entirely from their own numbers.

So let's have our alternative, shall we?

Yellow Letting puts out a story.

By Tolet doubles in a year, whoa! Yeah, Yellow Letting's had a very a year. W. W. Yeah, the lessons have a very good year.

And we could put that story, but it wouldn't be a sensational, would it?
