Hey everyone, it's Robby here with Rob D and you are listening to the Property Podcast.

It's our market update. We've got big news on house prices, stamp duty, being removed, and will we see a 99% loan to value mortgage?

All that and so much more in this week's pod. Welcome to the Property Podcast. Thank you for joining us. If you don't already know,

we found a company called Property Hub, which did over a hundred million pounds worth of

property deals last year, and this is the show where we bring

you some of what we've learned along the way for free.

We also have a column in the Sunday Times and this week we're helping a landlord who's

had probably one of the worst things you can possibly have as a landlord happened to them

which is that who they thought were their tenants are not their tenants their

property has been illegally sublet to people they don't know and they don't know

what to do about it so we are helping them. You can find that if you pick up the

Sunday Times this weekend. But right now we've got loads of news to cover.

It's time for our market update and it's been quite the start to the year.

2024 is still young but there's loads going on in the world of politics, which we'll be covering

shortly.

Plenty to say about house prices as well, because there are some surprises there.

But we should start with interest rates, which are actually the least interesting item this week because

nothing's changed. Bank of England had their meeting last week, decided to keep rates as they

are, but the path of rates so important obviously for mortgages and the housing market at the moment.

Everyone's been analyzing what the individual members of the committee

were doing and how many people were voting for this

and how many for that
