In our recent Growth Series Live webinar, Max Shepherd, Group Economist at YBS and Accord Mortgages, joined Iain Cunningham, Corporate Account Manager to explore how the latest budget and broader economic trends are shaping the UK market.
Max shared his insights and expertise on many issues currently facing mortgage brokers, including:
Two polls were run during the event, with 64% not sure about how the autumn statement effects the mortgage market, and 77% thinking that gross mortgage lending will be higher in 2025.
Max, who you may know from his regular Economics 101 blog in the Growth Series, also answered several questions around government support for first-time buyers and potential new schemes, the role of interest-only offers in keeping arrears down and the expectations for interest and mortgage rates in the next 12 months.
