The budget turned out to be tough on businesses, but perhaps slightly less damaging to the property market than had been feared.  However interest rates are now expected to come down more slowly and there’s another stamp duty shocker for buy-to-let landlords.  So how’s the market reacting and what’s the advice for homebuyers?  Property commentator Anne Ashworth seeks answers from Winkworth Chief Executive Dominic Agace, and Anthony Emmerson of mortgage brokers Trinity Financial.

In 1974 the London property market was in the doldrums, with draconian rent controls holding back investment. The average house price was £9787.  In this special episode, property commentator Anne Ashworth talks to Winkworth Chairman Simon Agace and his son Dominic, CEO.  They reflect on how and why the housing market, and the way estate agencies operate, have been transformed so dramatically over that period – and what could come next.  

There was a time when most people commuting into London were looking for somewhere no more than an hour away, door to door – but no more.  With the rise of hybrid working post-pandemic, many will now contemplate a journey of up to two hours, if they only have to travel in three or four days a week.  So what does this mean for homebuyers and local property markets in the affected towns and cities, such as Bath?  Property commentator Anne Ashworth hears from Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace, and Matthew Leonard of Winkworth’s Bath office.
