Rob & Rob are back to answer more of your questions! 

The Bank of England have been increasing interest rates, and there’s no signs of this slowing down anytime soon – that's why Tom wants to know what he should do about his mortgage. 

One of Tom’s properties is on a 5-year variable rate mortgage with the possibility to leave at any time with no fees. 

With the potential for interest rates to continue to soar Tom wants to know “Is now the time to switch to a fixed-rate mortgage?”. 

Next up, we’ve got a question from Shaz in Derby. 

He’s currently looking at purchasing a tenanted property, where the tenant is on a rolling, short-term contract. Shaz isn’t too impressed with the rent they're paying though, as it’s around 20% under market value. 

He wants to know what his options are, and the best practice for raising the rent to meet the current market value. 

Tune in to find out what advice the guys have got this week.

Are investment properties ever REALLY hands-off? 

Rob & Rob are always getting requests to share their latest deals. 

And this week on The Property Podcast we’ll be sharing the juicy details on Rob D’s latest deal. 

He’ll run you through the process - step-by-step - as they unveil whether any property deal can truly be hands-off. 

If you’re curious to hear what sort of deals the guys like to get involved in and why, then you don’t miss this episode. 

In the news

Whilst we’re taking a look at being hands-off, it’s clear the government has no plans to be hands-off when it comes to landlords, as the Minister reveals more about Rent Reform proposals. 

The minister has announced plans to bring in a landlord register and a lifetime rental deposit scheme. 

Although some registers already exist for HMOs in certain areas, these plans will require all landlords nationally to register their status as a landlord.  

What are Rob & Rob’s thoughts on this? 

Hub Extra

We’ve got an extra special Hub Extra for you this week. 

If it’s not obvious, we love a good podcast, and this one is from someone we’ve recommended before. 

Sarah Ferris is an active investor that already has one successful podcast under her belt Conning the Con, and much like us, she can’t seem to get enough and has started a brand new podcast Stop the Killing. 

Sarah has teamed up with the former head of the FBI’s active shooter program and is revealing what went on behind the scenes of some of the world’s worst mass shootings. 

If you’re a lover of true crime this is a must-listen! 

Let’s get social 

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.

It’s that time of the week where Rob & Rob answer more listener questions! 

First up is Jamie. 

Jamie currently owns two buy-to-let properties in the midlands, and has £125,000 to invest in his next property.  

He originally planned to invest in the North West, but what he wants to know is with the London market stagnating is this the time to be buying in the capital? 

Our next question is all about mortgage brokers. 

Tom is currently hunting for a broker and he wants to know what information they have access to that the general public doesn’t. 

He also wants some advice from Rob & Rob, as there are so many brokers out there, he wants to learn how he can land himself a decent one. 

Tune in to find out what the guys have got to say.

On this week’s Ask Rob & Rob we have Pat who’s got in touch wanting to know if he should still use leverage now that he’s retired, or use his savings to buy more buy to let property outright.

Pat already has two buy to let properties and is wanting to increase his cash flow but doesn’t need the rental income to live on. 

Second up we've got Natasha who has a residential property with a consent to let from her mortgage provider.  

She’s now wanting to remortgage but oddly the bank is now telling her "no". She wants to know what Rob & Rob would do.

If you’ve been wondering if it’s best to buy investment property with cash or a mortgage, or have been having issues with your mortgage provider, this is an episode you’ll want to listen to.
