A record number of landlords looking to leave the rental market due to high mortgage payments was most read this week.
The inclusion of the Leasehold Reform Bill in the upcoming King’s Speech along with rate changes from the likes of Barclays, Accord Mortgages, HSBC and Halifax also proved of interest.
The base rate being held at 5.25 per cent this week also piqued readers’ interest.
