Summary

Get ready for some more listener questions!  Rob & Rob are back, and this week they’ve got some pretty interesting ones.  Our first question is from Steven.  Steven has a portfolio of six properties, and his residential mortgage is due for renewal next year.  What Steven would like to know is whether he should remortgage his portfolio to pay off his residential home or should he use the rental income he generates instead?  Next up is Becky from Stockport.  Becky has been viewing some leasehold properties and she would love to know if there’s anywhere online where you can download copies of leasehold agreements, as she quite often struggles getting information about ground rent from her letting agents.  Tune in to find out.  Do you have a buy-to-let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob? You could feature on the next episode by giving us a call on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply).   Or if you prefer, click here to leave a recording via your computer instead.  The next question on Ask Rob & Rob could be yours.   Have you joined us over on the Property Hub Forum yet? Our online community is friendly, informative, and the members are waiting to welcome you with open arms. So, get yourself over and introduce yourself.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
