EP86 The State of the Housing Market Part 1

In this lively debate-style episode, host Michael Dean brings together mortgage experts Mike Lawlor and Martin Stewart to discuss the current state of the UK housing market. Drawing from their ongoing Twitter exchanges, they explore whether the market is crashing, correcting, or simply facing media hype. Topics include regional divergences, affordability challenges, rental demand, and predictions from figures like "Moving Home with Charlie." The conversation also touches on broader economic factors like unemployment, interest rates, and demographic shifts. This is Part 1 of a two-part series.
