Investing Unlocked

For generations, we’ve been told that property is the "default" safe bet. But the world is changing fast. Landlord numbers are falling, and interest rates are staying higher for longer.

In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert sit down with Rob Dix – author, landlord and co-founder of Property Hub – to ask if investing in property is still worth it. And if it is, how do you actually do it well?

They interrogate the long-held British belief that "my property is my pension," identifying who property genuinely suits as an asset class – and who should walk away.

The conversation also covers what actually makes a "good" investment property in 2026 and exactly what you’ll need to consider before you even think about buying.

For anyone who has ever assumed property is "safe as houses”, this episode will make you think again.
