ASK548: Should I leave the South East? PLUS: Are open houses a good idea?

Is it time to leave a strategy that's working and chase capital growth further from home? And should a new landlord show a property to every prospective tenant at the same time?

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

  • (00:48) Regan and his dad own two one-bed flats in Hemel Hempstead, both let at £1,100 a month. Should they keep buying more of the same, or switch to a cheaper area? Rob B explains why total return changes the sums, and Rob D weighs how long any advantage could last.
  • (06:21) Laura's first buy-to-let is coming to the end of its refurbishment. Should she hold an open house for tenant viewings, or book individual appointments? Rob D draws on the one time he's tried it, and Rob B explains what it means if a property won't let.
