In this weeks episode, Nick and Tobi discuss whether now is a good time to invest in property or wait which is something the team at Track Capital get asked a lot. All purchasers have different motivations and reasons e.g. buying your forever family home or your first BTL investment etc, so there isn't a one size fits all answer to this question. With so much currently going on which can affect the property market, such as coronavirus and Brexit, we look at different sides of the argument for various buyers and scenarios. Which side will you be on, buy now or wait?
