Cheeky Bricks - All About Property

Jono, SJ and Richard start off discussing property as an investment. Why do bricks and mortar make more sense?

The team turn to our enduring love of Georgian architecture which leads to a quick history lesson courtesy of SJ and another conversation about Gentleman’s Residences!

Plus, a rock star Star Property from Richard and a special Property Porn relating to the upcoming Leeds Marathon.
