Summary

How is Rob D’s pandemic purchase performing?

Today we’re taking a little glimpse into the past as we review one of Rob D’s riskier investments.

The height of the pandemic might not have seemed like a great time to buy, but that didn’t put Rob off getting his hands on a Property Hub Invest discounted deal in Nottingham.

And now it’s been around two years since he made the purchase, we thought we’d take a closer look at how it’s performing, share any lessons Rob learned along the way and answer the biggest question of them all – does he regret it?

In the news

Now if you’re a long-time listener you’ll know we’re fans of Liverpool, and if there wasn’t reason enough, this latest headline will definitely help you understand why!

As Liverpool has seen a 160% increase in Chinese and Hong Kong purchases since 2017.

Now Liverpool’s world-wide reputation has always seen it performing better than other major cities in terms of overseas purchases, but what does this buyer boom actually mean?

0:00.0	Hey everyone, Robby here with RobD and this week's episode is want to really inspire
0:08.6	you.
0:09.6	Rob's previously made a investment in a property at a very difficult time and we wanted
0:15.4	to talk about that again today because we feel that the lessons you can draw from that
0:19.7	are so important.
0:28.1	Welcome to the Property Podcast, it's a Thursday morning, that means that we're taking
0:31.6	time out of our day job of advising a multi-million pound property fund to bring you some of
0:36.3	the insights that we've learned along the way.

0:51.5	So a bit of a biased new story of the week because I'm going back to Liverpool, but it's
0:56.4	a really, really interesting headline and it's one that you possibly would not have
1:01.1	noticed yourself because Liverpool has seen a Chinese and Hong Kong by a boom with purchases
1:07.0	up 160% since 2017 and we've previously talked about how Liverpool does attract overseas
1:14.2	money because it is a world famous city.
1:18.0	Yes, it's easy to understand how people would invest in London and Manchester because they
