The Property Podcast

We get asked about buying off-plan all the time, so this week we dig into the archives to revisit one of our earlier episodes. We look at what off-plan means.  We discuss the potential risks and rewards.  And we reveal how Rob B personally lost money on a deal, despite his knowledge of the sector.

They’ve shared their challenges and also their successes.   In this episode, we asked each of them one follow up question.  “What’s the one thing you wish you knew at the beginning of your journey?” JOIN THE CONVERSATION OVER IN THE FORUM Share your stories with us - Join the conversation in the forum.

This bonus archive episode: 224 - Back To The Future:  How To Predict Future Property Prices. Dove tails yesterday’s podcast so well. We discuss predicting future property prices and we’ve used lots of historical data in order to help us forecast what the next few years may have in store for the property market in the UK. If you’d like to take a look at the data we used for our research then check out The Nationwide price index, you may also wish to refer to our earlier episode on The 18 year Property Cycle – and we are working on the belief that the last cycle started after the crash in 1989 and ran for (would you believe it) 18 years to 2007. We looked at London vs the Northwest and Yorkshire & Humberside (The modern day Northern Powerhouse).

It’s one of those sayings you might hear on the street.  But is it true? We’ve spoken about this before, and now - 4 years on, we’re going to have a look at what’s happened and see if property really does double every 10 years. We’re also going to drop a bonus episode in the feed tomorrow:  Episode 224 - Back To The Future: How To Predict Future Property Prices.  This episode from the archives marries into today’s episode so well, that it’ll really help give you a full understanding of the cycles and where to you should be looking to invest. NEWS THIS WEEK It’s official.  There’s only one place left in England and Wales with an average house price of below £100,000.  This story came from the telegraph and includes a great map that illustrates when each region broke the £100k barrier.
