Unsurprisingly brokers will have been pleased to read that a mortgage fraudster was found guilty after trying to blame his broker for the deception.

The government unveiled strict rules for electrical safety for landlords while the price war at the top of the market continued as Barclays chopped rates further for first-time buyers.

A warning for estate agents to cut referral fees or face an outright ban and a claims management firm targeting mortgage advice mis-selling also stirred the market.
