The Mortgage Prisoner Bill passing its first reading in Parliament was the most read this week, and aims to make it easier for mortgage prisoners to move to new products.
Gen H switching to become an intermediary-only lender, Halifax changing its maximum working age and the government introducing 100 per cent council tax for long-term empty homes also proved popular.
