ASK539: Are period properties better than new build? PLUS: Is a 10% return too good to be true?

Do period properties really outperform new builds when it comes to growth? And if an investment comes with a guaranteed return of up to 10%, what’s the catch?

It’s Tuesday, which means Ask Rob & Rob is back answering your questions.

• (00:45) Gina is starting out in London and has noticed new builds looking tired a few years after completion. Period or modern, properties, are there any rules of thumb? Rob D goes through what the Land Registry data shows, and what separates a development that holds its value from one that doesn’t.
• (05:21) Nora is looking at student and assisted living deals promising guaranteed returns of up to 10% for three years. Good for passive income, or hard to sell later? Rob B doesn’t hesitate and explains why the commissions on these deals tell you most of what you need to know.
