Hamilton and North Hamilton are quite different. But in a good way because Hamilton North seems to be catching up to it's more popular neighbour. Sounds like a good buy.

I wouldn't live in Cardiff. Would consider an IP there but I think there is better CG elsewhere.

I have a very unattractive busy road near me that noone ever buys on. Yet in the last two years there has been a boom in the properties traded there. They get done up and are rented out. I suspect that these are bought by investors who then raise the yield by a quick tart up. The...
