| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Rob. And I'm Rob. And this is Ask Rub and Rob. |
| 0:07.0 | Hello everybody, welcome to Ask Rob and Rob, the show where you give us your brilliant property questions and we do our very best to give you at least a half decent answer. |
| 0:15.2 | Well you must think so because you keep sending your questions in and we keep going and this week is no different. |
| 0:20.4 | We've got two brilliant questions coming up but before we do let's give you a quick reminder of how you can get involved with the show. |
| 0:25.6 | Yep, all you've got to do is call 013, 808,00035. That's 013, 808,0003535 or go to Property Hub. |
| 0:33.4 | Net slash Ask. |
| 0:35.0 | Both those methods will take your question, |
| 0:37.3 | drop them into our inbox, and then we will answer them on the show, |
| 0:41.1 | just like we're about to do for Jonathan. |
| 0:43.0 | Hi Rob and Rob Jonathan here absolutely love the show keep up the great work. |

| 1:02.2 | For our next move, we're looking at two options. Do we sell it and buy the ideal property or do we release some equity and rent it out? |
| 1:10.0 | We've spoken to a broker who's given us a budget if we rented out and we've seen a house in |
| 1:14.4 | Brixton that we like and we could convert the loft in that in the future and add value to it. |
| 1:19.2 | It's worth noting that she's a high-rate taxpayer, so we'll get stung on the rental income. |
| 1:24.3 | However, we won't pay any sales or lettings fees because I'm an agent. |
| 1:28.1 | We're really in two minds about which options to choose, so it'd be really great to hear your |
| 1:32.3 | thoughts. Many thanks. Thank you for the |
| 1:34.1 | question Jonathan. It's a tough one. My initial instinct when I heard your question was |
| 1:40.0 | sell and that might sound strange at first because there's a general view of |
| 1:43.8 | never sell a property and of course it's not nice to sell a property at a loss |
