How can we make sense of the mortgage market right now? With a 0.9 percentage point decrease in house prices month on month, according to the latest Nationwide Price index, it might have seemed house prices are becoming more affordable. Yet with bank base rate rises still on the table, and the cost of living crisis still hurting consumers, affordability is still very much an issue. Is it good news or bad news for consumers? Or the veritable curate’s egg? This FTAdviser In Focus podcast, seeks to understand why the mortgage market is seeing such weekly see-saws in sentiment and pricing. Joining this podcasts are guests Jane King, independent mortgage adviser at Ash-Ridge; Lewis Shaw, independent mortgage adviser at Riverside Mortgages; and Rob Sinclair, chief executive of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries. 

The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments, pensions, regulation and other key issues.
