Hey everyone, it's Rob B here with Rob D and you are listening to the Property Podcast.

It's a market update and you'd think the market would go to sleep in December, but far from it.

And what I love about this episode, it might actually be my favorite market update of the year,

is that our insights, us in the industry, doing this day and day out,

allows us to add more flavor to these new stories

and for me there's two big new stories in here one is about the returns that we've seen

over the last 12 months but then following on from that the rental boom that has kicked off again

and nobody is talking about it i love recording this episode and i'm sure you're going to love

listening to it too.

Welcome to the Property Podcast. If you don't know, we run a company called Property Hub Invest,

which buys more than £100 million worth of property for our clients every year. You can find out

about that at property hub.net slash invest.

And in the course of doing that, like Rob said, we not only keep up with what's going

on the property market, but it gives us a front row seat, and we can get behind the headlines

and bring you information you won't find anywhere else. So all the big market moves from the last

month are coming up and stick around to the end because we've got some strong recommendations for you in Hub Extra as well.

Time now for our final market update of the year. Now, we've been keeping you updated with

every move in the property market throughout the year. And of course, we keep you updated on every

move within the property market week by week in our free newsletter Property Pulse. That comes out every

Friday. It's packed with loads of good stuff. If you don't receive that already, you can go sign up at Propertyhub.net slash Pulse.

But this is our final time in 2024 of rounding up the news monthly.

And Rob, we will start, as we always do, with house prices, everyone's favourite subject.
