Summary

Rob & Rob are back to offer their advice to two more listeners!  (0:48) John is going to completing on a couple of buy-to-lets in October and he’s wondering with how the mortgage market is right now, should he buy them outright now and then when the market calms, remortage?  (4:22) Noel owns an ex-council flat in South West London that has a good rental yield, but he’s recently become aware of some mortgage issues with the flat due to it being built with LPS concrete (large panel system). Based on this, should he cut his losses and sell up, or hold out and wait if the value of his property increases and becomes more mortgagable in the future.  Enjoy the show?  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!  Sign up for our free weekly newsletter, Property Pulse  Send us your question by calling us on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply) or click here to leave a recording via your computer instead.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
