We had a play in the new studio this week and you'll notice I've been magically dropped onto the news articles... SCARY!! Let me know if this has increased your viewing pleasure. :-) Bank of England predicts inflation will be below its 2 per cent target by 2012. Also confirming the economy is well and truly on the road to recovery and with no double dip insight. What will this mean in terms of interest rates and the economy as a whole? Find out why the CML and FSA aren't meeting eye to eye? We'll take a close look at some of CML's thoughts on the mortgage market and work out if they make any sense. Finally, we see house prices rise for the sixth successive month. Is this realistic or just another artificial price increase? And why Savills is bursting our bubbles by telling us their price fall predictions for 2010.

The Queen stepped in this week to urge for greater protection for savers. As shocking report shows that most of us are losing money by placing our cash in a savings account. So if you have cash in the bank right now, you're actually losing money. Abbey is pushing the pace up on competition. They've launched a new current account with no fees. Will UK banks be on their knees with this new product? We hear from a bunch of businessman sick of being turned away by their banks. So they've gone to the councils to set up a community bank for local businesses. Find out why this is an excellent idea to create some extra competition. More house price predictions. We take a look at the top 5 experts make their predictions for 2010 - this range from growth of 2 to 3 per cent to fall of 6 per cent. Who can we trust and what are the reasons for their huge differences? As always if you have any questions or want to have a chat about current opportunities call the team on 0207 812 1255.

We've just wrapped up a very busy week, culminating in a fantastic book launch at Borders, Charing Cross. If you didn't make it down then check out the video on our blog. A big thank you for those who've purchased the 3+1 Plan book. We are still on the Top 100 List on Amazon and if you're interested in picking up a copy then pop over to their website. Anyway let's get back to the Weekly Property News and we find out why banks are still holding back lending. With debts of 130bn, it's going to take more than a few years for them to move their balance sheets out of the red. Find out why I think foreign banks might eventually take over some of the UK banks. But this is not all doom and gloom for lenders - as the market improves and confidence starts to grow, we'll see lending criteria relax to allow more lending. I'll take you back to my 2009 predictions from January and see how they match the figures over the year. It'll be interesting to see how the last three months compare with the projection. We'll also talk about supply and demand. In August the house prices actually raised due to lack of supply, but don't think this is the only factor that affects prices. We discuss some other factors in the video. And finally, do you think you can stay away from the news for 6 months? I'll tell you why a break from the news room may leave you enlightened!!!

As the top UK financial leaders prepare for the next G20 summit, Lord Turner, head of the FSA, urges them to consider capping bankers' bonuses. Funny the FSA didn't mention that they should have tightened lending before the credit crunch. See if you agree with me that this is just another distraction from the real issues? We take a look at the LIBOR and how it's now on par with the BoE base rate at 0.57. This is good news for those who are on a LIBOR tracker. It's also a sign that stability and trust are beginning to build between banks. Although they are not yet on top of their balance sheets this will definitely help. And if you are looking for a new mortgage, don't just look at the interest rate as you may be paying more than your neighbour (even though he is on higher rate). We'll work out the real price of mortgages and learn how to look at the overall rate to get the best out of the market. For the third week running we'll close on a good note. The CBI says 'Britain has probably come out of recession'. Things are looking up much quicker than predicted!
