It’s time for your latest edition of Ask Rob & Rob! 

• (0:39) Shane is looking at purchasing at buy-to-let, but with taxes being high, interest rates on the rise and China’s quantitative easing starting soon, is now a bad time to buy? 
• (3:51) Mark had an investment plan, but he’s not sure if it’s working out. He’s wondering if he should switch to investing as a business, but he’s not sure if that’s a good idea as it’ll put him in a higher tax bracket. He’s not sure how easy it is to switch back to investing as an individual. Do Rob & Rob have advice for him?

Housing in the US is a constant source of frustration. On the way up, prospective homebuyers worry that they're missing out on their chance to jump on the housing ladder. On the way down, homeowners worry about losing their equity and their nest egg. So is there a better way? Is there a way to make housing more equitable, and to separate the investment component from the shelter component? On this episode we speak with Daryl Fairweather, the chief economist at Redfin, about a land value tax and how it could help us reposition housing so that it's less of a financial asset that spirals people higher, and blocks so many people out.

Here’s what the December market update has in store for you

We reckon everyone’s been waiting patiently for the December market update, thanks to that capital gains tax bombshell that was dropped a couple of weeks ago.

But that’s not all The Robs are covering this week. 

Here’s what to expect on this week’s property podcast episode

Just to give you a little taste, here’s some of the things Rob & Rob are chatting about in the December market update:

• The top cities for capital growth
• Stamp duty 
• Capital gains tax
• Help-to-buy
• The latest Hometrack report
• ESW1 and unlimited liability
• The Hong Kong market 

Plus, the guys will be taking a look at an insider’s opinion on what’s happening in the property market right now.

There’s certainly plenty to get through this month. So make sure you’re prepared as we dive into the December market update.

Let’s get social (H3)

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.

Happy Tuesday! We’re back with another Ask Rob & Rob. 

First up this week is Jonathan who recently got married (congratulations!).  His wife had purchased a property a few years ago but unfortunately it’s now worth 10% less than what she bought it for. 

But she does have 50% equity tied up in it. So here’s the big question:

Should they sell the property at a 10% loss and purchase their ideal property, or do they release some of the equity and then rent it out? 

Which is going to be the more profitable option for Jonathan and his wife? 

Our second caller is Serena. She has £100,000 to invest and knows that a vanilla buy-to-let is probably the best strategy for her.

She doesn’t want to commit a lot of time and her goal is to have a decent income stream so she’s got pretty much everything sorted. 

But what she isn’t sure on is the location and the type of property she should be investing in. 

At the minute Serena is wondering if she should buy one, or a couple of new build flats in either Leeds or Manchester city centre - if she can stretch that far. But she’s concerned the service charge is going to be astronomical on these kinds of properties. 

So, should Jonathan sell or keep his property and does Serena need to be worried about service charge? 

Tune in to find out what advice The Robs have for them.

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, the guys have got a stamp duty special! We know, we’re just too good to you! 

Our first caller with his stamp duty related question is Medassa. He’s in the process of buying two blocks of flats with a business partner which are blocks of six and five individually let apartments. 

He’s wondering how multiple dwelling relief works. To his understanding, you can split the stamp duty costs amongst each individual apartment which will reduce the stamp duty costs. 

But is he right? 

The second question this week comes from Stan. He’s obviously been busy listening to the podcast which has sparked up his own question. 

Like a previous listener, he wasn’t aware that if you kept hold of a residential property and bought a new one to live in, that further down the line you could claim back the higher amount of stamp duty that you would have paid. 

So now Stan is wondering just what exactly is this time frame and has he missed the boat to make a claim?
