Rob lists the five plants that homeowners, landlords, and tenants should avoid due to their potential negative impact on properties. The episode highlights invasive species such as Japanese knotweed, bamboo, rhododendron, buddleia, and English ivy, detailing how these plants can cause structural damage, compete for resources, and complicate mortgage and insurance processes.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"The first plant to really watch out for is Japanese knotweed... it can force its way into anywhere basically."
"Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world... the roots can overtake a garden, it can push up paving slabs, patios, driveways."
"Rhododendrons can grow to be very, very big... and also the plants are poisonous to dogs."
"Even small buddleias are capable of producing over one million seeds a year... they can become quite invasive."
"English ivy... its roots will go through cracks in the structures... leading to all forms of water ingress and structural issues potentially for the home."

Rob looks into the contentious topic of heat pumps versus gas boilers within the context of the UK's energy policy. With a critical eye, he discusses the government's shifting stance on energy solutions, including the potential abandonment of plans to ban new gas boilers by 2035.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"It's important to have a look at the latest news because that can impact the long-term housing plan for this country."
"When you look and realize that most of our housing stock in the UK consists of some form of late Victorian or early Edwardian, heat pumps are not suitable for the housing stock in general."
"If you give someone an option of installing a heat pump that may or may not work at the cost of say 10,000 pounds, or they can get a new gas boiler for say 5,000 pounds, most people are gonna go down the gas boiler route."
"The current energy policy is not very good, to put it in a polite way."
"We need more energy. We need more nuclear. We need more gas. We need more oil. More of those things are gonna drive our economy."

Rob looks at the recent announcement by Rightmove regarding potential housing boom areas for 2025, contrasting it with the current decline in property prices in London. He delves into the latest data from Halifax, which shows a year-to-date increase of 3.3% in UK housing prices, and explore the implications of a 26% rise in new property listings compared to the previous year.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"Rightmove have announced some housing boom areas for 2025... it's interesting to see that Rightmove have, to an extent, almost countered that with their latest information."
"They do say that listings... have jumped by 26% in comparison to this time last year."
"If there are a lot more homes hitting the market, that doesn't necessarily indicate the start of a new property boom."
"When you're dealing with the fundamentals of supply and demand, that's what happens. Weak supply, big demand, demand outstrips supply, prices go up."
"Take it with a pinch of salt when you read that there could be a new property boom happening."

Rob looks at the complexities surrounding the Bank of England's current monetary policy, particularly its base rate, which is held at 4.75%. With the next decision set for February 6, 2025, Rob highlights the challenges posed by persistent inflation, currently reported at 2.6%, and the implications for the mortgage and property markets.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"The Bank of England held rates at 4.75%. The official inflation rate... is at 2.6%. But if you put fuel in your car or go to the supermarket, you're probably finding that prices are going up a little bit more than that."
"They're almost in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation... If they keep rates up to deal with inflation, then mortgages and the housing market might struggle."
"Rachel Reeves also somehow managed to produce a budget that was inflationary and possibly at the same time deflationary. I'm not sure I've ever seen that before in my life."
"Energy is the economy. Without being self-sustained in energy, that's going to lead to all sorts of issues."
"If you lower rates, I just think it's gonna lead to a much bigger drop moving forward."

Rob discusses the recent decline in house prices in London, highlighting that while the media may exaggerate the situation, the reality shows only modest decreases in certain boroughs. Using data from Halifax, he explores the implications of these trends, noting that London often sets the tone for the rest of the UK housing market.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"House prices have tumbled across swathes of London, but in reality, they're down by a couple of percent."
"London has a house price to earnings ratio of 8.22, making it one of the least affordable places to live in the country."
"If London is doing well housing-wise, chances are the rest of the country is going to be doing well housing-wise."
"There are always opportunities in the market, and demand for housing in the UK is significantly higher than supply."
"If a lot of the boroughs are starting to see declines in house prices, then that will have a ripple effect on the rest of the country."

Rob shares bold predictions for 2025, including expectations for gold prices to soar to $3,000 before retreating to $2,200, and a worldwide recession that could surpass the Great Depression of 1929. He speculates on political changes, predicting that Sir Keir Starmer will be ousted as Prime Minister by the end of the year. Additionally, there are forecasts for oil prices to drop to $50 a barrel and the Bank of England's base rate to decrease to 4%, accompanied by rising inflation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"Sir Keir Starmer will be ousted as Prime Minister... I think something's going to happen where he is ousted as Prime Minister."
"Oil has been slowly going on a downward spiral for a while... that will normally send oil lower."
"I believe that the Bank of England will drop that down to 4%. That wouldn't be the right thing to do at all, in my opinion, but I believe it will happen."
"I think a new international monetary system will be officially announced... it could be anything."

Rob reflects on his property finance and macro predictions for 2024, assessing the accuracy of each forecast made at the beginning of the year. The predictions covered a range of topics, including gold prices, the Bank of England's base rate, the commercial property market, house prices, oil prices, and a wildcard prediction regarding the U.S. presidential election...
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"The first prediction was that gold would hit $2,500 amid economic meltdown. Now, I'm going to give myself a point for this because gold certainly hit $2,500 at the latter end of the year."
"The second prediction was that the Bank of England would increase its base rate to at least 7%. This is completely incorrect. I haven't fared well with this."
"The third prediction was that the commercial property market collapses. Again, I have to give myself a big X on the spot for that one. That hasn't happened."

Rob examines the complexities of green energy policy and its implications for individuals and property investors in the UK. Emphasising the need for a cleaner and greener environment, the discussion highlights the potential economic burdens that may arise from the government's aggressive decarbonisation goals by 2030.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"What the government in the UK are trying to do is not sustainable and not suitable, and it really is making us all poorer."
"To decarbonise the electricity grid in five years is, in my opinion, not good."
"Nuclear really is the answer... if you want a greener grid and an abundance of electricity, nuclear is the way forward."
"We're making ourselves poorer by design... all of those investments, all of those subsidies get passed along to us through a standing charge."
"When you tell them it's gonna cost them hundreds and possibly thousands of pounds per person, that's when you're gonna get resistance."

Rob looks at the impending ban on gas boilers in new homes, set to take effect in 2027 as part of the government's Future Homes Standard aimed at reducing carbon emissions. He delves into the implications of this legislation for developers and homeowners, highlighting concerns about increased construction costs, potential planning issues, and the strain on the electricity grid.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"Gas boilers are likely to be banned in new homes from 2027 as part of legislation being brought forward by the government."
"If you're trying to force everyone down this net zero route, what is going to happen is that the cost of putting in heat pumps... would increase."
"You're putting all your eggs in one basket... if the grid goes down and you're running off a heat pump, then you're screwed."
"Banning gas boilers, not a good thing in my opinion... they're making us poorer, I think, by design."
"We should always have the option, if you want gas, have gas. If you don't want gas and you want a heat pump, go for it."

KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"There will be a devastating landlord exodus that will hit Britain from 2025 onwards, and it's a culmination of a lot of factors."
"If the supply of available housing for rent decreases... then what happens is an increase in prices."
"Just under two-thirds have blamed the recent legislation changes for the decision."
"Landlords have been operating in an increasingly unfriendly environment."
"If all these properties were sold... that leaves a smaller pool of rental properties that are available."
