Location is no longer optional

Think it doesn't matter where you buy your investment property? The numbers say otherwise...

Rob & Rob use real world examples, comparing two investors who start with the same £100,000 but buy in different regions. Using Land Registry data, Zoopla yields and Savills forecasts, they show how one investor ends up £83,000 ahead after just 10 years, simply because of where they chose to buy. If you've ever felt the pull to invest close to home, this one might change your mind.
