It’s Tuesday, so naturally that means The Robs are on hand. 

The first question this week comes from James from St Albans. 

He’s a new listener and has been bingeing all of the past episodes. 

He’s been looking at new developments in key locations and gets the impression that they’re open to offers. 

So now he’s looking to find out what Rob & Rob think would be a reasonable starting point for trying to negotiate a discount. And for others wondering the same, we’ve got a handy video on negotiating a discount on a property right here.

Also, some of the developments he’s been looking at have fantastic on-site amenities, which in turn means they also come with a higher service charge fee. 

James is wondering if he should be concerned about these charges or if they’re generally covered by the rental income? 

Our second question this week comes in from Kathy who has a question about regulated tenancies. 

She’s wondering why anyone would want to buy one as she seems to think that it means you can’t get rid of tenants if they stop paying the rent. 

She’s seen some selling at auction for quite a bit over the asking price so she’s wondering if they’re a good type of investment or she should stay clear?

What do Rob & Rob think of properties with a regulated tenancy?

Tune in to find out.

This week The Robs are continuing with ‘Fundamentals February’.

They’ve already covered leverage and inflation, but today they’re discussing the real reasonswhy property goes up in value.

It’s a topic that many people brush over because they think it ‘just happens’. But this is where the majority get it wrong.

In this week’s Property Podcast, Rob & Rob will help you understand house price increases and explain how you can use it to your advantage.

The 18-year property cycle is also a large aspect in this week’s episode. So why not put your knowledge to the test and take part in ourfree property cycle course?

The Robs also announce some very exciting news. Yes - Property Hub Meetups are back! To find out where your nearest one is, head over to our events page.

In the news this week, Your Move announced that they will be closing 124 Reeds Rains branchesin order to boost profits. Rob B has said it for years, but could this really be the start of the death of the high street agent?

We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do.

We’re back for the second round of Ask Rob & Rob year, and our listeners are firing some cracking questions over to us.

In this week’s episode the guys are going back over a topic they’ve covered a number of times after one of our Hubbers, Philippa, asked if she should worry about ROI if she is buying for growth.

In the past, Rob B has said that you should be focussing on an ROI of around 10%. But is this still the case if you’re in it for the long haul? Should you be looking at instant income in addition to (or instead of) growth? Is it actually possible to have it all?

Tune into this week’s Ask Rob & Rob to find out.

The next question is: Which landlord organisation should I join?

Rob D tackles this one head on. It’s not often that a landlord organisation is at the top of a landlord’s to-do list, so listen as Rob runs through the reasons why you should join and also listen out for a little wild-card he throws in!

Influencer marketing is one of the cheapest attention arbitrages right now, and I truly believe that it's one of the most effective ways of advertising a brand right now as well, along with Facebook ads. Since influencers have such a wide reach & there are many up and coming people, they're able to genuinely and effectively present a product or service in a way that affects the audience consuming their content. Here's a few of my thoughts around why you should be utilizing this strategy, and examples of how I'd utilize it in difference scenarios.
