ASK486: Should I use cash or equity? PLUS: Did this agent break our agreement?
It’s time for the latest edition of Ask Rob & Rob, so let’s dive right in! (0:45) Adam’s gearing up to start his buy-to-let property journey, aiming to build a five-property portfolio over the next few years. With £45K saved and £150K of equity in his home, he’s weighing up whether to release funds from his main residence and buy outright or use his cash savings alongside a buy-to-let mortgage. He asks Rob & Rob which route they’d take and why. (5:25) Brendan’s recently completed on an off-plan property and hired the developers in-house letting agency to manage it. But he’s discovered tenants were placed in the property before the sale was finalised without his knowledge or approval. With rent set lower than expected and no access to the tenancy agreement, he’s now questioning whether any of this is legal, and how he can take back control. Enjoy the show?
