Will house prices pick up again? LUNCH MONEY


The real estate market has been in the doldrums for much of the past eighteen months, as higher mortgage rates dented the ambitions of home buyers and sellers.

But suddenly things start to look up. Mortgage interest rates have fallen slightly, house prices have risen and buyers seem slightly more interested.

Plus the new best buy savings account you should consider – and the benefits that come with it.

Later, Interactive Investor’s Victoria Scholar discusses why FTSE 100 housebuilder Barratt wants to buy rival Redrow and whether this will be good for investors. And what has consumer goods giant Unilever said about inflation?
