Summary

What’s better?  Flats or houses?  North or South? Yield or growth?  We get asked these questions all the time.  New builds or older property is no different.   In this week’s episode we have a look at the pro and cons of old vs new in each stage of an investor’s process; from setting your initial goals to what to expect long term - to help you decide which strategy is for you.   We also look at our own portfolios to reflect on what’s worked well and what hasn’t.   NEWS THIS WEEK   Britain’s best and worst yielding areas have been revealed.  We’ve both happy about the results for different reasons, but as always we take our news with a pinch of salt.   IF YOU ENJOYED THE PROPERTY PODCAST, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW ON ITUNES Reviews are really important in helping other people to find the show, so by way of thanks we read out every single review we receive on air.
