Hey everyone, it's Robby here with Rob D and you are listening to the Property Podcast.

fact that there are more than ever before, okay, maybe the rates aren't what you'd ideally like

them to be. But choice is good and it suggests that lenders are enthusiastic.

They are. This is the record, since they started recording this in 2011, this is the record
