This week’s episode of The Property Podcast is a pretty important one. As you should know by now, next week is the general election, and it’s kind of a big deal. The manifestos have been flying around all over the place with the parties promising this, that and the other. And to be honest, it can get quite confusing. So what do each of the party policies mean for property investors? Well, that’s exactly what Rob & Rob are going to dive into and dissect in today’s episode. Sit back, relax and t...

Rob & Rob are back again this week to answer two more of your burning questions. The first caller this week is Sam who is stuck in limbo. She’s in a bit of a situation that you might not often find yourself in, but that doesn’t mean you might not be in Sam’s position at some point in the future. Sam is using a certain solicitor, however the lender that she’s using for her mortgage isn’t on the same panel. So, in order to get the rate that she wants with this lender, she’ll end up paying extra ...

We’ve got an epic episode for you. This week on The Property Podcast, Rob & Rob are sharing just how they made £130 million worth of investments happen this year! Before you get the wrong end of the stick, this isn’t an episode of them bragging about their achievements. Oh no.

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, the guys are back again with two different questions that they’ve not covered previously.

That’s pretty good going for less than 1...

This week on The Property Podcast, The Robs are doing something a little different. Rob B is interviewing Rob D on his own property development exploits. One of our most popular podcast episodes this year was when we discussed our project in Crewe, which was a rather eventful and emotional journey to say the least. If you haven’t listened to that episode, you can do so here. But amazingly, that wasn’t enough to put off Rob D. He’s just done a property development project just outside of York. ...

This week on The Property Podcast, Rob & Rob are talking about landlord licensing. We know it’s not the most exciting of topics but it’s up there with one of the most important as a property investor. And luckily for you, The Robs will be talking you through exactly what licensing is and what you need to do.

He’s had a property for a few years and has remortgaged a couple of times and changed his mortgage rate. It’s coming up for renewal again soon and he’s not sure if he should withdraw some of the equity, or leave it in the property so he can get a better loan-to-value rate on his mortgage. So what should Martin do? Well first and foremost it all depends on...

They still hear it all too often ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad changed my life!’ So this week on The Property Podcast, Rob & Rob are going back and taking a revised look at the book and sharing the lessons that they took away from it, and what they just don’t agree with.

The Robs are back again this week for another round of Ask Rob & Rob, and this week they’ve got two cracking questions that they’re about to answer. Our first caller is a very enthusiastic property investor who unfortunately didn’t leave her name.

However, she’s wondering if there’s such a thing as investing ...

Just like we promised, The Robs are back this week and once again joined by Mike Winnett who’s going to share just what happened after he bought everything he was offered.

We’re back again this week for another Ask Rob & Rob. Our first question this week comes from Dorian. His question is around income tax for buy-to-let properties, with the new Section 24 rules. Dorian and his wife are looking at investing in their first buy-to-let and they’ve been told that a lot of lenders won’t lend them the funds through a limited company because they’re first time landlords. Their other thought was to purchase as individuals which will then result in the income from the p...

He’s looking at buying 3 buy-to-let properties but is concerned about the effect that 3 different buy-to-let mortgage applications could have on his credit file. Is John right to be wary of multiple applications? Will these multiple marks on his credit file make a difference to his applications - and more ...
