Summary

Ready for this week’s Ask Rob & Rob? We’ve got two new listener questions lined up… (0:45) How do you use the UK’s position in the 18-year property cycle to influence your decision making with your mortgage and portfolio strategy? That’s exactly what Phillip wants to know, so he turns to Rob & Rob for their expert advice. What will they say? (4:05) Last year, James had the chance to buy the leasehold on his property for £185K, but now the price has dropped to just £30K! He’s curious if this drastic reduction is due to potential legal changes affecting ground rent, or if there's another reason his landlord might be eager to sell. Enjoy the show?
