The Property Podcast

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.  Enjoy the show?   Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!  Sign up for our free weekly newsletter, Property Pulse  Send us your question here – just hit record!
