What’s going on?

Every day is bringing new headlines (and even new Prime Ministers), so it’s no surprise that investors have a million questions right now. 

And while Rob & Rob can’t answer all those million questions in a single episode, they can take a look at the most popular ones and give their thoughts. 

Is the 18-Year Property Cycle broken? What’s happening with mortgages? What should I do next? 

Tune in now and hear how The Robs are responding to the biggest issues in the headlines today.

It’s Tuesday and you know what that means – Rob & Rob are back answering your questions! 

Paul’s kicking us off this week, and he’s got a question about buying off-plan property. 

Paul’s still new to investing, but he’s already exchanged on two off-plan properties in Manchester city centre that are due to complete in Q2 of 2024 and he’s considering getting a third. 

However, he’s now wondering if it’s actually a good time to be buying off-plan. 

When the time comes for him to get a mortgage, will interest rates be even higher? And could he actually struggle to get one due to not meeting lending criteria? 

Next up, we’ve got a question from Ed. 

Ed is also new to investing and currently has a freehold property in London. He’s currently soaking up as much Property Hub content as he can, but he wants to know if Rob & Rob could recommend the best podcast episodes for beginners like himself. 

Tune in and find out what the guys had to say.

What can you expect to happen in a property boom? 

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that we’re at the beginning of a property boom.  

Which is great for investors as properties go up in value, but what else can you expect to happen? 

The 18-year property cycle means there’s things that you can almost definitely expect to see happening as the boom develops.  

But what are they? 

In this episode, Rob & Rob are revealing the tell-tale signs that we’re in a property boom. 

In the news 

We’ve got two news stories this week, and they’re both good for investors but in different ways. 

First up, Landlord Zone reveal the ’never seen before’ student stampede to secure accommodation.  

It’s no surprise that students have been a bit cautious this year, in fear that covid could ruin another year of university experience.  

But this means that, as things seem like they’re going to be relatively normal, there’s been a sudden rush in the search to secure somewhere to live, which is great news for anyone with properties in student cities. 

And finally, the news all landlords have been waiting for – eviction notices returning to pre-covid rules.  

From October 1st landlords can give their tenants two months' notice rather than the four months that it is currently. 

Hub Extra 

It’s been a while since Rob & Rob shared a quote, so they’re hitting us with a double whammy. 

The boom stage of the 18-year property cycle is going to require some serious focus, so grab your notebook and pen, and jot these down to help you kept sight of your goals. 

“The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” — Bruce Lee  

“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” — George Lucas
