Summary

It’s Tuesday, so that can only mean that Rob & Rob are back to answer two more listener, property related, questions.  Our first question this week comes from Lee.  Lee has been listening to the podcast for over a year now and is doing an immense amount of research into where he should invest.  Naturally he’s been listening to Rob & Rob and eyeing up Manchester and Leeds, but he’s now turning his attention to Nottingham for the affordability aspect. However he’s having doubts after seeing that in two years, a council estate that was priced at £90,000 is now priced at £130,000.  So essentially, Lee wants to know if this kind of growth can be expected to continue, or do certain areas experience capital growth which then moves onto another area? The second question this week comes from Nick who’s having issues calculating yields.  He’s currently in the process of purchasing his seventh property, the last three of which have been during lockdown - you go Nick! He’s been told that if you achieve a yield between 6-8% then that’s pretty good.  But when he’s been working the numbers out based on the 30% deposit he put down, he’s getting a yield that’s much closer to 20%.  So what’s he doing wrong? What’s the right way to calculate a rental yield? Tune in to find out.   Do you have a buy to let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob? You could feature on the next episode by giving us a call on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply).  Or if you prefer, click here to leave a recording via your computer instead.

I'm trying to do a mental amount of research, looked at leads, looked at previously

a Manchester, now considering not in him for within my affordability criteria.

1:13.2

But when I come to research places that will hopefully rise in capital growth in the

1:18.7

future, I don't know if I have a confidence in looking in the past few years.

1:25.2

Reason why, is because I've seen one area not in him, that was 90,000 pounds in a cancel

home estate, and I was kind of surprised to hear that it rose to around 130,000 in the
