Hey everyone, it's Robby here with Rob D and you are listening to the property podcast. This week,

0:07.9

we're going to tell you an incredible story. It's the story of an architect who started with

0:12.6

£5,000 who used her knowledge to do multiple conversions and development projects until she had a

shocking realization that made her completely change her

Welcome to the Property Podcast. Thank you for joining us. In case you don't know, we run a company

0:36.6

that buys more than £100 million worth of property every year for our clients. We can find out about

1:26.1

and listen to that episode, but we have more mortgage news. And the news is, Rob, and it's positive news, that mortgage rates

1:31.9

have dropped below 4% for the first time in months. Now, this is not for buy-to-let mortgages,

1:37.3

but it's for residential. But the fact is, if the market's moving that way, in general,

1:41.9

it's a good sign. It is. It's a very good sign. And if you look at

1:44.5

swap rates, which are a big determinant of the cost of lender funding and therefore the rates that
