The Property PodcastShow Notes

Your questions answered on Ask Rob & Rob.

Rob B explains why, despite the technology being raring to go, the centuries-old UK conveyancing system and Land Registry mean it may take a while.
(03:53) Sara is buying a one-bed flat in Leeds under a limited company. Should she go for a standard buy-to-let mortgage or a short-let mortgage? Rob D warns against using a regular mortgage, even if brokers suggest it’s fine.
