Previous Episode

ASK306: Are big companies going to push us out? PLUS: Can I get a mortgage on a concrete-constructed flat?
The guys are back with two more listener questions!
First up is Matt from Devon.
Matt has built himself an investment portfolio that’s continuing to grow but wants to know whether big businesses are bad news for landlords like him?
With the increasing trend of big businesses such as Lloyds Bank and John Lewis moving into the residential property market, are private landlords going to be pushed out?
Rob & Rob share their thoughts and advice.
Our second question is from Ben.
Using a mortgage, Ben bought an ex-council property back in 2005 and when he tried to remortgage in 2011 he was advised that the property is no longer mortgageable as it was constructed with concrete.
Ben has since tried to fix this problem but is still struggling to find a lender for the property and he wants to know if Rob & Rob have any advice on the matter.
Tune in to find out.

ASK307: Has an off-plan delay worked in my favour? PLUS: How do I work out which mortgage deal is cheapest?
It’s Tuesday and Rob & Rob are back for another round of listener questions!
Our first question is from John in Chorley.
John bought an off-plan property, and the completion is a couple of years behind due to some delays.
What John wants to know is if the property has gone up in value since he purchased, could he use the equity and complete without putting any money in?
Next up we’ve got a question about mortgages from Sammy.
Sammy wants to know if it’s better to have a higher product fee and a lower interest rate or the other way around.
Tune in to find out what the guys have got to say.
