ASK478: Should I sell and buy in a high growth area? PLUS: Does the monopoly strategy work in the north?
Rob & Rob are back and they’ve got two new great questions from our listeners!
(0:40) Lloyd is a British investor living in Manhattan with properties in both the US and UK. He’s hoping Rob & Rob can shed some light on whether he should trade up his hassle-free UK properties for something with stronger capital growth potential or keep them ticking along and let time do the work.
(5:14) Rob P’s been investing up north for five years in areas that have historically performed well in terms of cashflow and yields, rather than capital appreciation. He’s now eyeing the Monopoly strategy, but the numbers don’t seem to stack up on cashflow alone. Can Rob & Rob help him make sense of the numbers?

ASK477: Does property still work long-term? PLUS: Should I move to invest?
It’s time for your weekly dose of Ask Rob & Rob – let’s get stuck into two great listener questions!
(0:40) Matt wonders if property can still be a reliable pension for younger investors, given house prices have historically risen faster than wages and inflation. With concerns about falling demand and economic shifts over the next 30+ years, he asks Rob & Rob for their thoughts.
(7:05) Miles is on a moderate wage in London and wants to build a property portfolio, but it’s proving difficult to save for a deposit. He asks Rob & Rob whether buying up north, living in the property, and renting out spare rooms is a smart way to get started, or if he should hold out for a more traditional buy-to-let.
