Rob & Rob are back this week with another two amazing questions, one that we can’t even believe was an actual question! Our first caller this week is Kathy who has a question on viewings and proof of funds. An estate agent has told her that she can’t view a property unless she gives them proof of funds. Erm, excuse us, what?! Naturally she’s a bit apprehensive about this and rightly so because sending over a bank statement is highly confidential. She’s also worried that if she views multiple...

It’s time for Rob & Rob to reveal their 2021 predictions It was only right that The Robs kicked off The Property Podcast this year with their 2021 predictions.

Today we’re reflecting on 2020 Finally it’s the last day of what’s been an awful, yet interesting year, and Rob & Rob are finishing it off by reflecting on 2020.

2020 predictions reviewed It’s that time of the year again. Rob & Rob are back to revisit their 2020 property hotspot predictions. In past years The Robs have rarely been wrong with their predictions, but this hasn’t been a normal year.

You’re about to find out in today’s 2020 predictions reviewed episode. Rob & Robs 2020...

We’ve got another two great property questions on Ask Rob & Rob this week. The first question this week is from Argent. Argent wants to know where property investors can make the biggest gains. He knows Rob & Rob tend to focus on capital growth, but he thinks it’s more the income that gives the biggest gain, as this is the cash that hits your bank account each month.

Have you been investing during Covid? Well, if you haven’t been investing during Covid, these three property investors certainly have.

If you’re at a bit of a sticking point and you’re not sure if investing during Covi...

This week on Ask Rob & Rob the guys are answering two questions that we’re pretty sure are on everyone’s minds right now. First up this week we’ve got Joe. Joe has bought his properties the opposite way round to most people. He bought a buy-to-let property first and is now onto purchasing his own residential property. He thinks he’s got himself a good deal as it’s in need of some renovation, but he’s trying to weigh up his options because he’s considering relocating when the world returns bac...

What are property funds and how do they work? Investing through a property fund allows you to invest in a property without having to fully buy it or go through any of the rigmarole that comes with buying a property. Sounds like a win win situation right? We’ve managed to go 400 episodes without talking about property funds. Until now. You might be listening to this thinking that you’re never going to have the funds to be able to invest in property, but you’d like to make a better return than...

Last week we had a question on using bridging finance and this week on Ask Rob & Rob we’ve got another. Kicking things off this week is Marika. The strategy she’s looking at is flips. So she’s looking to purchase a property that needs a substantial renovation before selling it once the work is completed. She’s been looking at getting a bridging loan, however she’s worried that once the refurb is complete, the market will collapse. By which point she won’t be able to, or want to, sell the prop...
