This Is Money: Is a ground rent cap a good idea for leaseholders and why is it controversial?
Original Broadcast: This is Money
The Government has announced plans for a cap on ground rent — is it a welcome policy that will finally fix a broken system or does it risk creating new problems along the way? Helen Crane, Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce discuss the plans first revealed on TikTok by the Prime Minister, what's potentially changing and when. Watch out — HMRC is about: stamp duty investigations are on the rise — is it all Angela Rayner's fault? And how do buyers find themselves in the crosshairs? 'Metal madness' is still in full swing with gold and silver on a tear up with some huge gains this week, but also some hefty falls. What's going on? NS&I has made some cheeky rate cuts but a cash Isa season seems to have erupted early — where can you find the best rates? And lastly: wood burners. Are they an environmental no-no, or can they help save money on your energy bills?
