Summary

Last week on The Property Podcast, Rob & Rob gave you their predictions for 2020. And this week they’re back for their annual rundown of the top UK property investment hotspots to help you decide where to invest next.   It’s an episode that many of you look forward to at the beginning of each year. So now the wait is over - here’s a run-down of which locations made The Robs’ 2020 hotspot list, along with places should be on your radar to watch… Cities: Liverpool Manchester  Nottingham/Leeds Towns: Crewe Doncaster  Greater Manchester  Up and coming: Sheffield  … you’ll have to listen to find out the rest.  So, there you have it, Rob & Robs property hotspots for 2020. Some of them may come as a surprise, so make sure you hit that play button to find out why The Robs reckon these should be on your radar.   Our news story this week is actually a positive one! (New Year, new Rob & Rob?) and the headline reads ‘Buy-to-let investment sentiment remains strong as 2020 kicks off’. According to a recent survey, 75% of people were positive about buy-to-let - rising to 83% if you include millennials. Apparently a lot of young people have a positive attitude towards property investment, whilst those who have been in the game for a while are a bit more sceptical due to recent changes over the past few years. But, nevertheless, no matter whether you’re about to start or you started 10 years ago, property will still come out on top as the best investment model.  For Hub Extra this week, we thought that this podcast episode on our 2020 hotspots just wasn’t enough. So, we’ve also done a new YouTube video where Rob & Rob go into more detail on these locations, allowing you to get even more of an insight on what made these locations capture their attention.  So head on over to our YouTube channel to check the video out, and don’t forget to hit the subscribe button and turn on those post notifications.    We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do.   Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week! If that wasn’t enough, you can also join our friendly property community on the Property Hub forum. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

out the headline reads by to let Sentiment remained strong as 2020 kicks off.

1:04.7

And Rob, this is quite an interesting survey because not only is by-tile-s sentiment strong,

1:08.8

it's actually really strong with younger people as well.

1:10.8

Yeah, it is, according to to this survey 75% of people were

1:13.9

positive about Biterlet but among millennials that rose to 83% which actually

1:19.8

surprised me Rob because I thought the older generation would have seen really great gains from the

1:24.0

last 20 years or so and therefore would be feeling more positive about property, whereas people

1:28.8

who are younger would be thinking of property as expensive and not rating it as an investment so highly but that
