Would Warren Buffett buy UK property?

Warren Buffett has never invested in property in his life. That doesn't mean his rulebook can't tell you if it’s worth investing right now...

Rob & Rob borrow the value investor's toolkit, the same one that made Buffett one of the richest people alive, and run UK property through it from first principles.

They build a fair value model using bond yields, price-to-income ratios and the cost of building from scratch, then compare it against what property is trading for today. The numbers say something most headlines aren't telling you.
