Ep. 73 - Adam Lawrence & The State of the Property Market - Is Property Still the Best Investment in the UK?

Is Property Still the Best Investment in the UK? 

This week on The Essential Property Podcast, Amanda sits down with one of the UK's most credible and analytically rigorous property investors — Adam Lawrence, host of the Propenomix podcast and the man behind a property group approaching £50 million in assets.

Adam isn't your typical property guru. He came to property through Swiss wealth management, a cross-business consultancy role with one of the UK's top 10 lenders, and an MBA from Warwick Business School where he graduated as Dean's Scholar — top of his class. Since 2011, he's been involved in over 650 UK properties, from £23,000 flats to portfolios of 91 properties at a time. His strategy has never changed: buy well, add value, refinance, hold.

In this episode, Amanda puts the tough questions to him — armed with the stats, the political heat, and the pressing issues facing landlords right now.
