As a general rule of thumb, do you tend to be more interested in buying properties in a city with two or more universities as it,s appealing to wider uni students, or you think rental to professionals or even families is more profitable?
London has and will always be the best 'long term' investment. My mum bought her house for 180k now its worth 650. I bought mine 2 years ago for£440k now its worth £525k. My aunty got hers in 1998 for 300k, now its worth £2.7m. a 500k house now will definitely be worth 1m in 12 years from now..property is a LONG game. Not quick cashflow. And yes i am an investor before you criticise..
Where are the following cities?: Norwich. Peterborough. Lincoln. Ely. Chelmsford. Colchester. Southend. St Albans. York. Coventry. Exeter. These are to name but a few. So where are they and why did they feature on this video? Answers on a postcard please. Pure.
Would the position of these cities change, if you were considering short-term rental locations? For instance you mentioned Aberdeen, would you place it higher as a short-term rental location?
US Hands down. The only downside is the currency risk - not insignificant- and prices have run up so need to do your research. Uk was great but legislation and government meddling has ruined it.
Can you please show us some examples of the yield in the top tier cities in your chart? For example, in Nottingham, what are the nice areas to buy with high yield? Find some examples of the properties, what the purchase prices are and by looking at rental market in the same area to estimate what rentals you may get on your chosen properties. Basically show us how you would pick the right property to buy,. Thanks.
Belfast is under the radar. Have two rentals there. Very affordable, good yields, good demand, good growth prospects as prices still returning post crash. Low crime, city isn't a congested hellhole like many mainland cities. It's not the highest growth and not the highest yields but has a good mix of both. Just stick to South or East Belfast is my recommendation. I paid 92k for a good 3 bed terrace (needing some updating though) in a decent area in 2018 and now circa 140k. Rent has risen from 595 to 725. Despite the growth houses are still very affordable to incomes.
Great vid guys and thanku! quick Q.- in the "take my money" list would you hold back for possible crash in the market, or still purchase now? thanks :)
You are so wrong about Newcastle! Pick a half decent property in a reasonable area and give it a modern look and the return is strong. I get £625 for a 2 bed flat that has cost me £73k.
some of these places your talking about are insignificant i mean who cares about Derby, Southampton, Bournmouth, manchester?! all pretty irrelevant really! why even mention them
Robs - What's your take on Folkestone? I appreciate its small, but there is a significant amount of investment via Roger De Haan (ex Saga) to regenerate it
Birmingham is definitely a 'take my money'. Amount of investment currently and hs2 means it's top 3 in all UK at the moment, and will be for next 5 or so years
16:00 " London is the Manchester of the South " . Absolute ' Bull '. Every other city in the UK can kiss the arse of London . It is , historically, economically, size and everything else, by far , a million light years away from anywhere else the UK. So don't give us that rubbish. It is just more expensive to live there, than anywhere else. London : 8 Million people , Manc : 500 thousand ( excluding greater Manc. like Bolton. Oldham, Stockport ( " Stock-poyt ") etc....which are really seperate towns. That's why all the norverners come to London, instead of the other way around !

What’s your take on Preston and if you had to put it on the list where would you possibly rank it?
Really helpful video. Where would you rank York?
'Take my money' I believe

Is Doncaster so bad that it didn't even make into your initial list? I have 20% ROI in there, which isn't bad at all.
Don’t worry pal hull isn’t on here either you’re not alone 😂
You should never avoid Liverpool put it in Invest

Between the USA and the UK, where do you think is investment friendly in terms of maximizing returns on investment, financing and tax efficiency
US Hands down. The only downside is the currency risk - not insignificant- and prices have run up so need to do your research.

Liverpool representation, you love to see it! Lovely city, fantastic railway network, great culture.

You missed Lincoln, a great place to invest with rock solid rental demand.

Ipswich Colchester and Norwich?
what is your view on stoke on trent as an investment?
He slagged Liverpool off and he's from Watford???!! Ha ha ha!! Get your Priorities in order mate
Great vid guys and thanku! quick Q.- in the "take my money" list would you hold back for possible crash in the market, or still purchase now? thanks :)
always buy, its the deal you buy nit the market
How about Milton Keynes ?
Nobody cares about MK to be honest
What are peoples thoughts on Grimsby?? House prices are low (£70k-£90k) with rent pcm approx. £450. Seems like a good deal to me.
No capital growth, tenants all on universal credit, crime is high.. up to you
@@olivermarples8363 I went to visit Grimsby and did a few viewings. Quite a rough place I think I’ll pass.

brilliant

Your nan mate
Robs - What's your take on Folkestone? I appreciate its small, but there is a significant amount of investment via Roger De Haan (ex Saga) to regenerate it
i think you were very rude about Liverpool. it should be at the TOP!
What is your opinion on Blackpool?
Avoid
Be careful 😂😂
pretty irrelevant really nobody cares about Blackpool very Insignificant
i love Liverpool
Birmingham is definitely a 'take my money'. Amount of investment currently and hs2 means it's top 3 in all UK at the moment, and will be for next 5 or so years
Apart from the whole area having he most crime outside of London
Coventry... City with larger population than both Nottingham and Leicester... always gets forgotten!
🤣🤣
Rob B's reaction 9:21
Plymouth?
lol
How can a Scouser big up manchester? that really made me cringe
Great insights!
BUT
Bournemouth, best beach in the UK!?
Surely not!😂

London is shit for anyone that enjoys being alive
