With not one but two mortgage spikes fresh in our minds, a flurry of rate rises have got home owners and potential buyers worried again.

A bunch of major mortgage lenders raised their rates this week - and Santander did it twice.

And what does this all mean if you need to remortgage soon or want to buy a home?

On this podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert take a look at what's happening in the mortgage market, why rates are rising and whether the Federal Reserve flapping its wings on the other side of the world pushes up our homeowning costs.
