Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:33York ranks detached homes C-tier, citing purchase prices and comparatively low rental yields.
- 1:27Listed and period properties receive D-tier because of restrictions and costly upkeep.
- 2:27Bungalows receive B-tier, with York pointing to demand from an ageing population and limited supply.
- 7:48New builds get a satirical Z-tier placement, alongside a warning against buying off-plan.
- 8:56Semi-detached and terraced houses receive A-tier as York's dependable long-term rental choices.
- 13:46No category reaches S-tier because York says an investor's personal circumstances determine the right purchase.
Nobody gets an S. Jamie York's most-watched new upload ranks UK property types for long-term rentals, then leaves the highest tier empty: the right choice, he explains, depends on the investor's circumstances.
In "NEVER Buy These Properties! Property Types RANKED", ordinary terraced and semi-detached houses get his A-tier endorsement. Bungalows and ex-local authority homes sit below them, while listed properties lose out in his assessment because their charm comes with restrictions and upkeep. New builds receive a comic demotion beyond the chart to "Z-tier", with off-plan purchases drawing his sharpest criticism.
The ranking has drawn about 9,000 views, but it also leaves room for disagreement. One viewer asks whether the price gap between flats and houses could make flats worth another look, rather than dismissing them as a category.
York posted eight uploads altogether, including short questions about costs, ideal rentals and starting a portfolio. The strongest viewing momentum now belongs to "Is NOW the WORST time to buy UK property?" Its historical exercise tests five of his buy-to-let houses against a crash scenario starting in 1989, then compares variable and fixed mortgage rates. It reached nearly 8,000 views in its first thirteen hours.
Subscriber numbers were unchanged over the week, and daily channel views sit slightly below their usual pace. Among nearby money channels, Scott Kuru had a much larger week for views and added subscribers; Touchstone Education was quieter. For York, the new videos offer two distinct ways into the same decision: what kind of house to buy, and how much the timing matters.
