ASK485: Buy a home or invest? PLUS: Can tenants object to upgrades?
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. Enjoy the show? Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!
