Martin Schultheiss's departure from his role as group managing director at Sesame Bankhall was one of the week's most read stories after the company said the position was no longer required.
There were also significant developments in the equity release sector with details of exam changes revealed, while there may well be hope for some home owners unable to sell their properties due to cladding on high rise buildings.
Other stories included TSB’s move to help more self-employed and contract workers onto the property ladder with a revamp of its offering, and a family whose £8.1m property portfolio was seized after it was suspected they were obtained using mortgage fraud and drug dealing.
