ASK335: Why are my offers being refused? PLUS: How do I minimise tax on a flip?

We’ve got some cracking questions for you this week, so let’s dive straight in! 

Kicking us off is Jessica! 

Jess has been listening to the podcast for a while now, and she’s finally ready to purchase her first property. 

She’s been looking around Liverpool for the past 18 months and has put in multiple offers, in various areas and price ranges but has found her offers consistently being rejected. 

Even though her offers are always at asking price or above, she’s starting to wonder if being a single buyer is what’s setting her back? 

So, she’s hoping Rob & Rob can give her some advice and help her get her foot on the ladder. 

Next up, we’ve got a question from Ben in Birmingham. 

Ben’s looking to purchase a property for £275,000 flip it and sell it for £385,000 leaving him with a healthy £30,000 in profit.  

But he’s wondering if he can avoid the hefty capital gains tax on this. 

He’s got a few different ideas in mind but he’s hoping Rob & Rob will be able to help him decide. 

Tune in to find out.
