Summary

It’s that time of the week and Rob & Rob are back with two more listener questions, and we’ve got some pretty interesting ones.  First up, we’ve got a question from Terry in Luton.  Terry’s got his eye on a couple of properties in Ipswich and what he wants to know is, is now a good time to invest in the South East?  Do Rob & Rob think the cycle has moved on enough to make this a smart investment?  Our next question is all about leaseholds.   David is looking to purchase another buy-to-let and is considering a leasehold flat.  He wants to know if he should be concerned about properties with leases of around 90 years? And how can he tell if a property’s lease renewal process is going to be straightforward?  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.
