Summary
Ask Rob & Rob has gone international! This week we’re bringing you two more listener questions, and this time, they’re all about geo-politics, international law and how this can affect UK property investment.
- (0:47) Adam’s work are asking him to consider a move to China, but he’s concerned about how the country’s corruption index will impact his mortgage options and if the situation will worsen. He’s hoping Rob & Rob can offer some insight into whether they think this would be too risky of a move...
- (4:28) Noel has been listening to a US personal finance podcast, and he’s wondering if the recent class-action case against The National Association of Realtors will have a knock-on effect on the UK property market?
