Where would you invest? We put Alex from our sourcing team on the spot and made her pick one city in every round.

The winner surprised a few people in the office 👀

Period or new build? We get asked this all the time. And the honest answer is that it's the wrong question.

Start with the area. In some locations, period property is genuinely sought after - and that demand feeds stronger growth. In others, buyers couldn't care less.

Then you have to price the maintenance. A hundred-year-old house and a ten-year-old one aren't even in the same ballpark when it comes to running costs. That needs to be in your numbers before you buy, not showing up as a surprise three years later.

Plenty of older property is well worth owning once you've accounted for that.

As for new builds, the common worry is whether they'll start looking tired after a few years. And it does happen. But mostly to average buildings from average developers who cut corners on the spec.

The new builds that hold up had something lasting from day one. A build quality nothing else nearby can match, or a location nothing else can copy.

So the rule of thumb isn't period vs new build. It's good vs average.

Which would you rather invest in, a period house or a new build?

Warren Buffett built his fortune on one idea: work out what an asset is really worth, then buy it for less. That's value investing. It started in the stock market, but the same test works for property too.

So let's put it to the test...

Forget what a house is listed for. Instead, ask what it would cost to build one from scratch? The land, the materials, the labour, all of it.

Across most of the UK, that figure comes out higher than what homes are selling for. Which is why almost nothing new is being started right now, which is part of why supply is so tight.

That's the gap a value investor goes looking for.

It's just one of the tests Rob & Rob ran on the latest podcast episode.

For a full breakdown of Warren Buffet's rulebook, comment 'PODCAST' and we'll send you the episode.

New rules mean the rent you advertise is the rent you're stuck with 👀

Landlords can no longer accept offers above the listed price, so there's no bidding war left to fix a number that was set too low.

Price too high and the property sits empty. Price too low and you can't correct it. Get it wrong altogether, even by accident, and it's a fine of up to £7,000.

Have you noticed a difference in rents since the Renters' Rights Act?

Rob D sat down with Zoopla's Executive Director of Research, Richard Donnell, one question: what's the most important thing landlords should be doing in this market?

His answer was simpler than you'd expect. Not "sell everything." Not "buy up north."

Just: look at what your property should actually be renting for right now.

Because most landlords haven't. And in a market where bidding wars are now illegal and the rent you list is the rent you're stuck with, that's a problem.

Two full videos with Richard are coming to our YouTube channel soon, one ranking the four worst areas for landlords to buy, and one breaking down why most landlords are getting their rent wrong.

Make sure you're subscribed to Property Hub on YouTube so you catch them.

One of the most important learning points within property investing is buying the property is the smallest part about the process.

A lot of the work happens before you even buy.

We went round the office to ask the team at Property Hub what's one thing they would never do as a property investor.

If this has got you curious about property investing, comment QUIZ and you can find out in 2 minutes.

Our team have some interesting takes on property investment 👀

Every 18 years, the UK property market crashes. Going by Fred Harrison's cycle, the next one is due in 2026.

But there's a strong case the crash already happened. Adjust for inflation and UK house prices are down more than 20% since 2022: a slow, silent correction with no panic and no headlines.

Will a loud, 2008-style crash land on top of that? Maybe. Nobody knows for certain, and anyone who tells you they do is guessing.

What we do know is that property has never moved in a straight line. Some years prices dip, some sit flat, others run. What protects you is a strategy and enough cash flow to hold through whatever the cycle throws at you.

The people who lose money in property are the ones forced to sell at the wrong time.

Buy well, hold long and let time do the work.

Andy Burnham wants to move decision-making power out of Whitehall and into the regions, with a 'No 10 North' based in Manchester.

For property, the interesting bit is what devolution could do to housing supply, transport and investment.

More local control over building and infrastructure tends to shape where demand goes next.
