This week on The Property Podcast, we’re giving you seven property tips that you can start using today, because we want you to start taking action!

You’ll know by now if you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while that we love doing the big picture, philosophical and mindset episodes but now we want to give you something actionable.

So on today’s podcast we’re going to cover everything from before you buy a property, through management, through to your exit and how you run your business.

The seven main tips Rob & Rob have for you are:

• Account for your time
• Become a Rightmove power user - look back at episodes 235 & 14 for more info on this
• Think about your exit from the start
• Make sure your mortgage broker is experienced in working with investors
• Hold block viewings
• Consider pets
• Run your investments like a business

Tune into this week’s episode and see how many of these tips you’re already doing and which ones you can action today.

Our news story this week comes from the BBC, just for a change. The headline is ‘soaring second home ownership is hitting young people’. Apparently the number of people who own a second home or a buy to let has doubled since 2001 and 1 in 10 people now own an additional property.

The report claims that this is hitting young people and making property unaffordable and home ownerships for young people are falling.

Now unsurprisingly the report hasn’t looked into all the facts and figures, so this is where Rob & Rob clear things up and set the record straight.

We also want to say a big thank you to everyone who has already subscribed to our YouTube channel. This week we hit 5,000 subscribers! We’re consistently pushing out more content on our channel with the aim to bring you a new video every week. So if you haven’t subscribed yet, we’d love it if you took this opportunity to do so.

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.

Getting an offer accepted on a property is always a great moment – but this week we see that rather than being the finish line, it's actually just the firing of the starter's pistol.

The process of doing the legals and getting your mortgage arranged can be a lengthy and arduous one, and it's your job to take control of all the people involved and keep things ticking along. In this episode we go step-by-step through everything you'll encounter, and provide tips for how to boost your chances of coming through unscathed.

We discuss:

• The preparation you can do with your broker and solicitor in advance
• At what point you'll have to fork over money
• What your solicitor should be doing behind the scenes (and why you need to check that they are!)
• How to balance patience with keeping things moving
• The critical milestones in the process of getting your mortgage agreed
• What will happen in preparation for exchange

And in case it's all a bit much to take in, we've got a resource of the week to help...
