first question hi rob and rob thanks for the hard work you boys put on for these podcasts and

0:48.9

content it's really helped me over a couple months that i've been listening to it. I've been a landlord for, well, since I was 19 in my own personal name.

0:59.0

I've got a grade two listed building in the Isle of Wight that I'm now looking to get rid of
