Summary

It’s that time of the week where Rob & Rob answer more listener questions!  First up is Jamie.  Jamie currently owns two buy-to-let properties in the midlands, and has £125,000 to invest in his next property.   He originally planned to invest in the North West, but what he wants to know is with the London market stagnating is this the time to be buying in the capital?  Our next question is all about mortgage brokers.  Tom is currently hunting for a broker and he wants to know what information they have access to that the general public doesn’t.  He also wants some advice from Rob & Rob, as there are so many brokers out there, he wants to learn how he can land himself a decent one.  Tune in to find out what the guys have got to say.  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?
