It’s Tuesday and you know what that means...  

Rob & Rob are back answering some more listener questions! 

We’ve got some really interesting ones this week so let's dive right in! 

Our first question is all about the London market. 

Our listener is looking to buy his first property in London, and after listening to our recent podcast on the 18-year property cycle (which you can catch up with here) he thinks now may be a good time to buy. 

However, as a long-time listener of the podcast, he knows Rob & Rob have previously mentioned that London is typically overvalued and with the crash being around four years away is now actually a good time to buy? 

Our listener wants to know if London is the exception from the 18-year cycle or does everything they mentioned in their latest podcast still ring true? 

Next up, Chris has got a tough decision to make, and he’d like the guy's advice. 

He’s currently on the search for a larger family home. He owns two properties, and he’s had one of them (a four-bed semi-detached) valued at around 200K, which means he’s got himself a fair bit of equity. 

What he wants to know is should he sell up and use the money to buy his next home or keep the property, rent it out and release some equity to buy his new family home? 

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

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, you’re in for a whole load of cracking advice off the back of two great questions from avid Property Podcast listeners, Wilson and Val.

First up we have Wilson who’s keen to ask Rob B a question about a location that’s very close to his heart - Liverpool! Wilson has noticed that certain property prices in Liverpool have dropped in value since they sold back in 2007.

Naturally, Wilson wants to know if the next phase of the property cycle is likely to improve these prices.

Without being too biased, Rob B admits that Liverpool is massively underpriced at the minute, one of the main reasons The Robs pegged it as one of their 2019 property investment hotspots. But he offers some sound advice on thorough due diligence when looking at less popular areas and what to expect. If you’re looking for a great location to invest in this year, this is a great podcast listen for you!

The second question this week comes from Val who is concerned about falling into the trap of becoming a mortgage prisoner.

Listen as Rob D takes charge, reiterating some basic points that were covered in episode 308 of the Property Podcaston getting a mortgage.

Why should Val stick to a 75% loan to value mortgage? What other actions would The Robs recommend Val take to avoid being a mortgage prisoner? Hit play to find out.
