Show Notes
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?
