Bear has a got a terrible case of the January Blues.
Aside from his favourite football team's woeful run of form, Bear is fed up with the weather and the raft of negative news stories regarding the UK economy. He is also concerned that the recent bond yield spike will harm the relative attractiveness of property as as asset class.
Bull tries to reassure him that 2025 will be a year of opportunity for property investors (especially in the value-add space).
Bull also highlights the popularity and success of the Build to Rent (BTR) sector as an area for optimism. Investment in BTR surpassed £5 billion for the first time in 2024, the fifth consecutive record for investment numbers.
Enjoy your Sunday.
