Summary

You’re in for a treat this week as Rob & Rob are sharing the mic with some great figureheads from the property industry. But first, they’re talking about their hand-picked news story of the week - click here to read. Is London a ‘sick’ market? With transaction levels slumping, this certainly seems to be the case. We’ve got some great guests joining us this week: Richard Blanco - he’s the London representative for the National landlords Association. Ed Meade - a well-seasoned property and media commentator; you’ve probably read many of his columns in various newspapers. Lawrence Bowles - an Analyst in the Savills Residential Research team. The information produced by his team is fascinating. Richard Beridge - a Build-to-Rent sector specialist and his firm focuses on institutional residential investments. Jeremy Leaf -  an estate agent and also the former chair of RICS. He’s been an industry spokesman for over 20 years. We’re sure you’ll agree, Rob & Rob are in great company on this week’s Property Podcast. The team actually got together for an upcoming feature in The Property Hub Magazine but we’ve decided to give you a snippet of an interesting discussion we recorded just for the Property Podcast: What advice would they give to a property investor today?   What are their property predictions for 2019?   Tune in to this week’s Property Podcast - it’s a great listen and full to the brim with useful property investment information.   Hub Extra: This week’s Hub Extra resource is basically Airbnb for cars.
