ASK 299: What's the deal with a "buyer's premium"? PLUS: Why do some people advise to buy without using mortgages?

ASK 299: What's the deal with a "buyer's premium"? PLUS: Why do some people advise to buy without using mortgages?

By Rob Bence and Rob Dix from The Property Hub

It’s that time of the week where Rob & Rob answer more listener questions, and this week we’ve got two cracking ones! 

Our first question is from Jeff in London. 

He’s looking to buy his first property in Hoggeston with a friend, but the company who’ve listed it are looking to charge a buyer's premium. 

Jeff was pretty surprised by this fairly large additional charge and wants to know Rob & Robs thoughts on whether this is something to be cautious of and if the buyer's interests are considered in this process?  

Our next question comes from Katie across the pond in the states. 

Katie would love to hear Rob & Rob’s opinion on the renowned American personal financial figure Dave Ramsey. 

Ramsey’s approach on investing in property is you should always buy in cash, but what do Rob & Rob think about this and is there ever a time where buying in cash only is the better option? 

Tune in to find out.
