Never miss the week and no we're not stopping. This show rolls on, we bring you market update,

amazing news with mortgages, can't wait to tell you about that, and we do something a bit different with

Hub Extra. Welcome to the Property Podcast.

Thank you for joining us.

In case you don't know, we buy more than a hundred million pounds worth of property.

for our clients every year. You can find out more about that at Property Hub.net slash Invest.

And we, of course, keep a very close eye on the market in doing so. And this is to show where we round up all

the big market news and bring you completely up to date all in about 20 minutes or

so. Okay let's get into our market update absolutely tons happening at the

moment will bring you up to date on all of it.

As it's traditional Rob we'll start with house prices. Once again we've got some divergence between our two

major indices nationwide and Halifax. Nationwide saying prices went down

very slightly last month. Halifax saying prices went up slightly last month, but

on an annual level are both of them showing reasonably strong growth?

Yeah and for the record nationwide was down by 0.2% last month and

Halifax was up by 0.3% last month but what's really interesting with the fall at nationwide that still with that it's the fastest annual growth

So from this time last year to today since December 2022.

Now that's not that long ago.

But the point is this was meant to be a bad year as we keep reminding you and it doesn't

appear to be playing out that way.
