Summary

This week we have one question that’s taking centre stage. But it’s one that A LOT of you have been talking about... so here’s Vicky asking the question on everyone’s behalf. Her question is about the HS2. Since Boris Johnson came into power there have been a number of mixed messages floating around: “It’s going ahead…” “It’s not going ahead” “It’s over budget…” “It’s only going to serve the north…” The list is endless. Vicky is wanting to know what The Robs think of it all and what impact they think it will have on the likes of Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds. Rob & Rob are big fans of HS2, so tune in and have a listen to what they really think of all these mixed messages. Do you have a buy to let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob?
