Rates are holding, but only just. The Bank of England's decision came down to a single vote, which tells us everything about where things are heading next.

Plus, there's a significant shake-up coming for ground rents that could transform flat values overnight.

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.

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.
