Summary

It’s Tuesday and we’ve got another two great questions to answer on today’s episode of Ask Rob & Rob. The first question this week Is from Shipla. Shipla wants to know everything there is to know about the Liverpool property market. What areas are good to invest in? Which ones to avoid? What’s the forecast for Liverpool in 2021? Shipla wants to know anything and everything The Robs can give her. She’s an investor based in London so naturally doesn’t have the local knowledge. Move over Rob D – This is Rob B’s time to shine! Our next caller has a question on city centre apartments and whether you should furnish them or not. There’s a load of conflicting information on this debate. Some reckon you can leave an apartment unfurnished for tenants to put their own stamp on the place. Others think furnished will let quicker and be less hassle for tenants. Is there a right or wrong answer when it comes to letting out city centre apartments? 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. The next question on Ask Rob & Rob could be yours. Have you joined us over on the Property Hub Forum yet?

Hello everybody and welcome to Ask Rob and Rob. We've got some great questions coming

0:13.2

up this week. Question more particularly strong. But before we get to those questions,

0:18.5

let's give you a quick reminder of how you can get involved and get on the show.

0:22.6

Yes, one number you need to know. 0138083035. That's 0138083035. That's 01380835. That

0:29.9

is your hotline directly into us to get your question answered. Alternatively, if remembering

0:35.3

a number is beyond you and you're closer to a laptop, you could go to property hub.net

0:39.1

slash ask exactly the same process. Get your question recorded. Get it in and you'll

0:43.5

get your answer just like Shippler is about to.

0:46.0

Hi Rob and Rob. I actually wanted to understand the Liverpool market. So it would be great

0:52.2

if you both can give me an insight for the Liverpool market where to invest, which are

0:59.5

good areas and not so good areas and and your forecast or your outlook for 2021 for

1:06.9

the Liverpool market. I'm an investor based in London, so it would be great to know pros

1:10.9

and cons of investing away from home basically. So thank you so much. Oh, Shippler, if you've

1:16.3

got an hour, let's go. Now I'll try and make this concise. So it's great that you want

1:21.4

to invest in Liverpool, but what I really like is that you're not just going headfirst

1:25.4

and just going to buy anything there, which unfortunately I've seen happen so many times

1:31.0

despite the warnings that we seem to give on close to a weekly basis that if you are investing

1:37.2

in a new area, it doesn't mean you're going to get a great investment. There are poor

1:41.2

areas in every city and you can make a poor decision. So it's great that you're doing

1:46.6

your research. Now we'll say I will give you some information, but this is not the end

1:51.2

of your research. It is absolutely the beginning. So use what I'm about to give you as the

1:55.8

starting point, not the end point. So with that in mind, let me give you some areas. So
