| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Rob. And I'm Rob and Rob. And this is Ask Rob and Rob. It is Ask Rob and Rob. It's that |
| 0:09.5 | fixture of your Tuesdays where we get your questions answered. We have got two wonderful |
| 0:14.2 | questions today, but you, I'm sure, have got a wonderful question in you somewhere. How do you |
| 0:18.0 | send it our way? Well, it is very simple. Just go to the one place. |
| 0:21.4 | Go to property hub.com.com. And there you have multiple options where you can submit your question |
| 0:27.3 | via a voicemail, direct audio. You can even put a written question into us and you may see that |

| 1:23.1 | it's all I'm focused on. So it wasn't like I was going to put my money to work anywhere else. |
| 1:29.0 | I'm renovating while I'm living there. |
| 1:30.9 | And I'm wondering if you think places like Mansfield and surrounding areas that have good |
| 1:36.9 | transport links to places like Sheffield and Nottingham, Derby are places that are attractive |
| 1:42.9 | because they do have low entry points. |
