The RWW Property Show

Is now the time to buy, or should you wait?

In Episode 2 of The RWW Property Show, we’re joined by independent mortgage adviser Steve Gann to discuss mortgage rates, affordability and the questions facing first-time buyers.

We also explore buying your next home without selling your current property, what happens when your fixed rate ends, and a mortgage decision that left one buyer facing a penalty of over £10,000.

Whether you’re buying your first home or planning your next move, join us for a down-to-earth conversation about your options.
