0:00.0	Hey everybody Rob B here with Rob D
0:04.1	and you are listening to the Property Podcast. We have a lot of positive news to
0:07.8	bring you but then we shake it all up with some what seems to be shocking news
0:12.1	from nationwide and wrapping up with insights of the
0:15.6	rich and how they invest in property. Welcome to the Property Podcast. Thank you for joining us. We spend our days advising a
0:28.4	multi-million-pound property fund and investing in hundreds of properties every
0:31.7	year on behalf of our clients and this is a
0:33.8	show where we bring you the knowledge that we've gained from doing that for free.

1:06.6	And when we have a forecast, when it moves one way or the other, that's news.
1:12.0	It's something that wasn't expected and this is a
1:14.4	good thing. This is moved in a way that surprised people in a good way.
1:18.4	Inflation is on its way down. Hopefully this isn't a blip because if this continues to happen we can then expect
1:25.2	interest rates to follow in the not too distant future.
1:28.0	That's right.
1:29.0	3.4% is a lot, lot lower than we've become used to even though it is still above target.
