Summary

This week on Ask Rob & Rob we’ve got Ben who phoned in to ask The Rob’s two cracking questions! Ben starts with a controversial property question asking if a Labour majority government would have a negative effect on landlords? Politics can be a touchy subject for most, so listen as Rob B treads carefully to provide a neutral and informative answer. The silver lining that Rob D so kindly pointed out is that whatever happens, it won’t be forever. Ben’s second question was: what’s the quickest way to release equity from an off-plan investment? Is there such a thing as a quick equity extract? Or should Ben be in it for the long haul? Listen as Rob D tackles this property question head-on. If you’re wanting to learn more about off-plan property, head over to the Property Hub University and take part in the off-plan property course. Do you have a buy to let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob?
