Description
Property prices “double every 10 years,” right?
Sure, but that doesn’t mean every city is a good buy.

In this episode we reveal the data-backed Top 20 UK investment cities for 2025 and why London doesn’t even make the list.

We rip apart the lazy “invest where you live” advice. We show you where the real money is made using our five-metric scoring model (Growth 20%, Yield 20%, BRR 25%, SA 20%, HMO 15%) the same way pros actually pick patches.

What you’ll learn

  • The 3 costly mistakes most investors make (and how to avoid them)

  • Why chasing “cheap up north” can still be a bad buy

  • The exact 5 metrics we used to score every city (and why it beats one-number lists)

  • The shockers that didn’t make the cut (London, Cambridge, Oxford, Bath)

  • The Top 10 reveal - including why Liverpool is #1, and where Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Newcastle land

  • When “knowing an area” helps and when it quietly kills your ROI

  • Perfect for:
    Buy-to-let investors, BRR hunters, SA operators, and anyone who wants cashflow now and capital growth later—without guessing.

    If you’re serious about scaling with real numbers (not hype), hit play. Then grab the PDF and choose your patch with confidence.
