This week on Ask Rob & Rob, the guys are trying to spread some positivity and calm people down with their worries on the current climate. Many investors are in the purchase process already and some are getting nervous. So should they stick it out or run a mile? Our first question this week comes in from Steve who has a follow up question from this podcast episode a few weeks ago. He’s got a property that’s going to complete in a few weeks and although he’s trying to stay positive about the lo...

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. It’s been a pretty busy week which neither of The Robs are complaining about right now. So far, yesterday’s podcast episode where Rob & Rob were pretty bold on their boom or bust predictions, has been quite popular with a lot of feedback coming in. One topic that the guys discussed on Thursday was the unemployment rate. Since recording, Rob D has been doing some further thinking and has been questioning if the UK hadn’t imple...

This week on The Property Podcast, The Robs are discussing the hottest topic in property right now. Boom or bust! Is there about to be a property boom, or is the market going to go bust? It’s safe to say that at the beginning of the year, no one would have guessed that we’d be in the situation we’re in right now. Many seem to be a little on edge as to whether the property market will boom post coronavirus, and should be buying as many properties as they can now. Or, if we’re going to have a m...

This week on Ask Rob & Rob the guys are going to be answering two questions that we’ve been inundated with. The first question comes in from Danny who’s wanting to know if there is going to be a recession after the coronavirus, as that’s what he’s been seeing a lot of in the media. Naturally reading headlines like this is going to make you wary, and with Danny having a buy, refurbish, refinance and rent project on his hands, he’s worried that if there’s a recession, he might struggle to refina...

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. Although at the beginning of the week Rob & Rob weren’t feeling too positive after Boris’ announcement on Sunday, by Wednesday their moods had certainly lifted as the property market turned up the gas and got going again. Even better news, surveyors are now starting to be un-furloughed which is a huge boost for the property market and means property processes that had been put on hold can get moving again. House viewings are ...

This week on The Property Podcast, The Robs are discussing how you can become a master of your personal finances and set yourself up for financial success. There might not be a lot to do whilst we’re still in isolation, and we’ve been banging the drum on our social channels about how you should be using this time to educate (or better) yourself or even learn a new skill. Just something to keep your brain working. We’ve mentioned it before that now is a great time to buy, or at least prepare yo...

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, the guys are clearing up some definitions on the difference between refurbs and flips, as well as below market value deals. Our first caller Sam has a nice and easy question for us this week. He wants to know exactly what the difference is between a refurb and a flip. It might seem like an obvious answer but there is a distinct difference, and one that most people will just assume they know the answer to. So Rob B is taking it back to basics and clearing things up ...

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. Could this week be the start in the decline of our market updates? Well, that all depends on what Boris announces this weekend. This week there’s been some positive news for Grand Junction, the first ever Property Hub Homes development. We’ve started to have units go through completion. Hurrah! And even better, after just a few hours of being on the rental market, we were inundated with rental applications from virtual video ...

This week on The Property Podcast, The Robs have got a lockdown special for you. Since lockdown hit, everyone is trying to better themselves, whether that be learning a new skill, educating themselves on something they didn’t already know and then there are others who are just simply bored. So this week, The Robs are coming at you with a boat load of books, podcasts, videos and apps to help you get through lockdown. Here’s all the links to everything you need from today’s podcast: Podcasts ...

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, the guys are giving advice on mortgage stress tests and discussing if it’s beneficial to have a commercial valuation on a HMO property. Our first caller this week is Tom who has a question on mortgage stress tests. He’s got two mortgaged properties already and he’s done a pretty good job on running the numbers to try and work out his stress test figures. But now he’s wanting to release equity from the two properties and thinks this might now affect him meeting the ...

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. There’s a bit of positivity in the air with Boris announcing that we are past the peak of COVID-19. And he’s even hinting at the possibility of easing lockdown restrictions - hurrah! We’re sure more will be revealed over the next few weeks but these nuggets of information have certainly perked us up. Not only would lockdown easing be good news for individuals, but it’ll be great news for the economy! This week has also been a...

This week on The Property Podcast, The Robs are joined by our magazine editor Chantelle to discuss how investors are reacting to the Coronavirus. For the past few weeks Rob & Rob have been giving tips on how investors should be reacting, but they haven’t spoken to any to find out what they’ve actually been doing. Luckily for us, Chantelle has spoken to a number of investors for our cover story of the Property Hub magazine. So, what did Chantelle find out from investors? Tune in to find out! ...

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, we’ve got one caller who has a question off the back of another podcast episode, and another who’s questioning how long he should get a fixed mortgage for. First up this week we’ve got Luke from Essex. He listened to a recent podcast episode on pulling out of deals due to the Coronavirus, and out of the number of scenarios that The Robs described, Luke found himself in one of them. He’s at the point of being able to exchange and complete on a property, however the w...

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. It seems this week that along with the rest of the nation, Rob & Rob are starting to look towards the end of lockdown. So much so, that Rob B already knows what he’s going to order from Pizza Express when it reopens. Although the government hasn't officially said anything about when lockdown will be lifted (there’s still at least another two weeks to go), it’s not stopping people from planning ahead. And one sure sign of that ...

Rob & Rob are back again this week and this time they’ve got one of our favourite podcast guests joining them. Mark Morris. You’ll probably remember Mark from a few months ago when he was sharing his investor story - the one that got everyone buzzing! Well, he’s back again this week to discuss Universal Credit after making himself somewhat of an expert on the topic. Most investors are only aware of Universal Credit coming into play a few years ago when the government rolled a number of benefi...

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, the guys are answering two caller questions about strategy and the potential changes to Universal Credit. Our first caller this week is Matt. He’s a fairly new listener who joined us earlier this year, however he’s already got a couple of buy-to-let properties under his belt. He’s currently in the process of purchasing his next buy-to-let which will be his first property in Liverpool. His strategy is to buy properties with good yields to help build his deposits up. ...

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. This week Rob B is feeling a bit more positive than he has in past weeks. He may have seemed positive on the podcast when laying out what The Robs think might happen, but now we’re starting to see evidence. One thing that’s been a positive this week is that it’s been a lot easier to get in touch with developers. Simply because they’ve now got more time on their hands. Some may argue that it’s because they’re getting desperate...

Rob & Rob are back again this week for a slightly different episode of The Property Podcast. Today they’re advising four different investors on how they should spend their money. We’re always asked for advice by aspiring and experienced property investors on how best to invest their money. And now (possibly more than ever), investors seem a tad confused on where they should be putting their money, if anywhere at all! All of the investors you’ll hear from today are at the start of their journe...

The Robs are back again this week answering more Coronavirus related questions - and it’s a bit of a personal one. How has the coronavirus affected Rob & Robs personal property portfolios? Well, Rob B has a vacant property whilst Rob D has one tenant who hasn’t paid their rent or been in touch with the letting agent to say why, or try and come to some arrangement. Are Rob & Rob panicking? What do they plan on doing? The second question we’ve been getting a lot is on buy-to-let mortgage payme...

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. This week the property market has been a bit quiet, which isn’t always a bad thing. Nobody seems to be panicking when it comes to buying and selling, and they’re certainly not slashing prices either. However, we’ve said many times that there will be deals to be made for those that need to sell their property sooner rather than later. And despite many holding out to see if prices would drop, there aren’t any indications of this...

The Robs are back again this week with more Coronavirus talk. As you know, the world is still a little bit of a mess at the moment and that’s left people feeling skeptical. So, two questions that we’ve heard an awful lot over the past couple of weeks are ‘should I pull out of this deal?’ and ‘would I be stupid to invest right now?’ Well, this week Rob & Rob are going to clear things up on whether you should be walking away and avoiding investing in property right now. The guys are going to be...

It’s Tuesday and Rob & Rob are back with another episode of Ask Rob & Rob. And this time, they’re not Coronavirus related questions. Wahoo! So, first up this week we’ve got Richard. He’s watched our video and listened to our podcast episode on The Robs’ 2020 property hotspots and is wondering if Rob & Rob favour city centre apartments as opposed to other investment types outside of a city centre. Now Rob & Rob don’t necessarily prefer one or the other, or invest in just city centre locations t...

Rob & Rob are back again today with another Friday market update for you. The stock market is still changing week on week. Yes, it has slowed down with how aggressive it’s changing, but compared to last week, it’s down again. One that caught Rob B’s eye especially was Taylor Wimpey. A month ago it was 2.13 and today it’s 1.06 - which is mind blowing! It’s hard to believe it’s now worth half of what it was a month ago. So the question is now, will it just go up from here and work it’s way back ...

This week on The Property Podcast, Rob & Rob are talking to property experts and going behind the scenes to gain insight on how Coronavirus is impacting the property industry. They’ll be talking to a property sourcer, a lettings manager and an investment consultant, and diving into what’s happening in their worlds right now. And of course, they’re all experts from our own teams. Some people who might be new to The Property Podcast might not know that we have a number of businesses under the on...
