In this episode of MoneyMagpie Invest, Jasmine Birtles is joined by Cameron Jerome a property developer and investor, to break through the headlines and explain what’s really happening in the UK property market right now. With mixed news around house prices, interest rates, and
landlord costs – especially in London – many individual investors are unsure whether property still stacks up as an investment. Cameron argues that one major myth needs to be challenged first: property is not passive. In this conversation, we explore why simply “buy and hold” hasn’t worked well in recent years, the difference between passive investing and value-add property deals and why interest rates and debt costs have changed the rules. Despite negative headlines, major institutions like
Blackstone and Legal & General continue buying large amounts of UK property – we discuss what individual investors should (and shouldn’t) take from that.
