February 10, 2026ASK510: Should I flip this property? PLUS: Can I make my savings work harder?
Got a property question that's been keeping you up at night? Every Tuesday, Rob & Rob are here to help.
(00:45) Ryan’s completed his first buy-to-let purchase, securing a hefty £35,000 discount. His original plan was to refurbish and refinance, but with local prices rising, he’s now questioning whether it makes more sense to sell and reinvest in a high-quality property in a limited company instead. He turns to Rob & Rob to help him decide whether to stick with the original plan or pivot while the markets on his side.
(05:48) Matt's first property deposit was saved in a stocks and shares ISA, and he got lucky – cashing out at just the right time to fund his purchase. Now he's saving for his second investment and asks Rob & Rob whether he should take the same approach again, or if there's a smarter way to build up that next deposit.

February 05, 2026Why now is the best time ever to invest
The best time ever to invest in property? That’s a bold claim – but the data backs it up, and almost nobody has noticed yet.
Rob & Rob break down what they’re calling the “silent crash”: headline prices look flat, but once you adjust for inflation, UK property is back at 2013 levels. Yields are up, borrowing costs are falling, and the market is quietly offering some of the best opportunities in years.
(01:02) News story of the week

(04:04) The inflation-adjusted chart that shows why property is undervalued

(07:59) Why sentiment is at rock bottom, but the fundamentals are strong

(10:07) How even a tough decade can deliver strong returns with leverage

(14:30) Falling rates, rising rents, improving yields - the perfect storm

February 03, 2026ASK509: Should I rent to the council? PLUS: Does personal ownership make sense for me?
It's time for your weekly dose of Ask Rob & Rob – let's get stuck into two new questions!
(0:46) Dan's been approached by a rent-to-rent company offering to lease his property on behalf of the council. They’re promising guaranteed rent, full management, and to return the property to its original condition. It sounds almost too good to be true – so he turns to Rob & Rob to find out if it really is.

(5:04) Tim's an expat about to buy his third UK buy-to-let. His first two are held in his personal name and sit comfortably within his tax-free allowance. He’s wondering whether setting up a limited company might future-proof his portfolio, even if it means paying corporation tax immediately and asks Rob & Rob for their advice.

January 29, 2026Why the economy is rigged (and how you can still win)
The rules of money have changed – and most people haven't noticed yet. What worked for the last 20 years won't work anymore, and if you don't adapt, you'll be punished financially.
Rob & Rob break down exactly why government debt now determines everything about your financial future, from how much things cost to how your investments perform. Consider this your blueprint for understanding why leveraged property investment isn’t just smart, it’s now essential.
(0:50) News story of the week

(04:04) Why the old investment playbook no longer works

(09:34) The maths proving governments must keep inflation above interest rates

January 27, 2026ASK508: Which types of property do best? PLUS: Is Assisted Living a good investment?
It's another week of Ask Rob & Rob, and we're tackling more real-life property dilemmas from our listeners.
(0:44) Mike’s built his property portfolio in his personal name and is now selling up, with plans to reinvest through a limited company. But he’s torn: should he put the money into two prime properties, or spread it across three more average ones? He turns to Rob & Rob for their advice.

(4:11) Nora’s been looking at assisted living investments, which are being marketed with guaranteed returns of up to 10% for a few years. She wants to know how these deals stack up in reality – are they suitable for hands-off income, what are the risks, and how do they perform when it comes to resale and long-term growth?

January 20, 2026ASK507: Is it worth paying this broker fee? PLUS: What types of BTL property should I invest in?
It's time for your weekly dose of Ask Rob & Rob – this week we’re tackling broker fees and the age-old flats vs houses debate.
(0:45) Mussa currently uses a sole trader broker who doesn't charge a fee. He's been looking at other brokers who charge £500-800 but can't see what extra value a paid broker would offer, given they all have access to the same lenders and products. So he’s put the question to Rob & Rob - is paying for a broker actually worth it?

(5:20) Gina is building out her buy-to-let strategy and wants to know whether there’s any useful data to help decide which types of property to invest in. Houses or flats? Period homes or new builds? And should investors be worried about new builds losing their appeal over time?

January 13, 2026ASK506: Does this cash buy make sense? PLUS: How much should I increase the rent?
Happy New Year and welcome to the first Ask Rob & Rob of 2026! We’re kicking off the year with more real-life property dilemmas from our listeners.
(0:45) Ed has released £100k from his home to start his property journey in buy-to-lets or flips. He’s spotted a two-bedroom flat in Kent above some shops but has learned that previous buyers couldn’t get a mortgage due to the commercial units below, making the flat around 50% cheaper than others locally. With a rental yield of about 11%, he asks Rob & Rob whether the potential income outweighs the risk of future valuation or remortgage issues.

(6:24) Paul’s been letting his property to an excellent tenant for five years with no issues. Since she last signed her lease 18 months ago, market rents have risen by 50%, and with the lease up for renewal soon, he wants advice on increasing the rent to align more with the current market while still being fair and rewarding his tenant.
