Summary

2020 predictions reviewed It’s that time of the year again. Rob & Rob are back to revisit their 2020 property hotspot predictions. In past years The Robs have rarely been wrong with their predictions, but this hasn’t been a normal year.  At the beginning of 2020 they certainly didn’t predict that we’d encounter a worldwide pandemic!  So, has that had a huge impact on the predictions they made 12 months ago? You’re about to find out in today’s 2020 predictions reviewed episode.  Rob & Robs 2020 predictions Top 5 cities The UK as a whole London Base rate  Budget  Stockmarket  US Election - Trump in or out? Who’ll win the Premier League?  So, how did they do? It’s safe to say that The Robs didn’t lose their touch on choosing the top performing cities this year. So despite what might happen in the next 12 months, you can pretty much still put your bets on Rob & Robs predictions for where to invest.  For the UK as a whole, Rob D predicted a 1-3% increase in house prices and Rob B said 2-4% increase.  But would you have believed them if they’d have predicted property price growth of 6.5%, whilst tackling a global pandemic? Even The Robs couldn’t believe how wrong this one was! That’s just a little taste of what to expect on today’s podcast episode. To find out what else The Robs got right and wrong you’ll have to tune in.   Let’s get social We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

You may remember if you're a Property Podcast listener from way way back in our very oldest intro.

0:35.0

There was the line that Property Investors come to do something, something else and laugh at our expense,

0:39.0

but I think we should have brought that intro back for this episode because we are reviewing our predictions and yeah it's an interesting one

0:47.2

So I think before we get going I think it's fair to say it's been a bit of a strange year which is me already

0:54.8

making excuses for how much we're going to get wrong when reviewing our

0:58.7

predictions this year I think we're even mad to do this episode this year is going to be a particularly tough one to

year but surprisingly I believe that we have actually got some things right as well

1:36.4

before we get into actually what happened let's listen to what we predicted.

1:41.8

So I'm going to predict two of the top three for England and that's easy for me.

1:47.0

I think Leeds and Liverpool plus one other will make up the top three of England.

1:52.0

Loads of other cities are in contention to join them,
