Another Tuesday, another Ask Rob & Rob, and we’ve got two cracking questions lined up this week!  

(0:55) After hearing Rob and Rob discuss being more open to rent insurance, Francesco wants to know: even if you’re in a strong financial position and can handle occasional losses, do the guys still think it’s worth doing, or is it just being overly cautious? 

(4:34) James is in the process of buying his third rental property — a leasehold maisonette that initially appeared to be a great investment, but he’s since discovered a clause regarding large ground rent increases. After negotiating a deed of variation with the seller, he wonders if there are still risks he might be missing and asks Rob and Rob whether it’s worth proceeding or better to walk away.

Happy Tuesday! It’s time for Rob & Rob to answer two more great questions from our listeners!  

(0:46) Sam’s a first-time buyer and has found a property that looks like a great investment. He knows getting a buy-to-let mortgage might be tricky, so he’s considering using a residential mortgage with consent to let. He asks Rob & Rob whether this is a smart strategy and for their take on this approach. 

(4:07) Karan’s in the process of buying a property in London but has hit a roadblock after discovering the lease includes a ground rent clause with no cap on future increases, which is making his lender nervous. They’re asking for a deed of variation, which the management company is happy to do, if the seller pays a £10k fee. He wants to know if his lender’s being overly cautious, if the fee is excessive, and how to avoid ending up with a problematic asset.

Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another episode of Ask Rob & Rob, where we dive into your property questions.    

(0:47) Sam’s eager to renovate his buy-to-let to boost its value and potentially increase the rent. But with upcoming rental reforms, especially the end of no-fault evictions and tribunals for rent disputes, he wants to know what rights he’ll have if a tenant refuses improvements to avoid a rent increase. 

(3:18) Tom’s expecting to get £200k from a future property sale. He originally planned to buy a family home and invest in a buy-to-let through a limited company. But he’s now debating ditching homeownership entirely, using the full pot to build a portfolio, and possibly living in one of the company-owned properties. He asks Rob & Rob for their take on the strategy and whether there are any pitfalls.
