Hello {!firstname_fix}, I'm Magpie Izzy, back with another fortnightly boxset. In this newsletter, I round up some of our best content to help you make, save and manage money. This week, I
thought I'd share all things property. Whether you are a homeowner, renter or landlord, the whole market has seen huge changes in the last year. I get questions daily from readers asking what is happening with interest rates, how they impact mortgages and rental payments and how to cope with the (seemingly) non-stop changes to the property market. So, I thought I'd
compile a property special for you. Containing a video piece from our founder Jasmine Birtles all about interest rates to articles revealing the truth about renting and dealing with extortionate mortgage rises, this boxset has everything you need to know. I hope it helps you, informs you or relieves some of the worry you may be carrying during these difficult times. Speak
soon, Izzy x |
