The Personal Finance Hub

Alongside the British weather and Brexit, property is one of the UK’s favourite conversation topics. We love talking about property whether it be buying a new home, renovating, or price discussion and the inevitable “..it’s amazing how expensive London has become”. Furthermore, journalists love writing about house prices, so when monthly price data is released you can guarantee property price coverage being top of the “daily most read” or articles littered across your LinkedIn feed.

Unfortunately, unlike the well equipped economic forecasters, The Personal Finance Hub doesn’t have one of Mystic Meg’s £9.99 crystal balls from Woolworths for property predictions (sold out apparently). The Hub won’t therefore be giving price views or economic / market forecasts more generally as a matter of course. Hopefully readers are of an age to get the Meg reference but for the younger readers she was the 90’s equivalent of a psychic Kim Kardashian who predicted lottery results when inked newspapers and four tv channels were the Friday night media of choice.

So while the Hub can’t predict house prices , property will always be one of the biggest financial decisions you go through, which is why it’s a standalone category on the Hub. You will, however, have to be patient for the nuggets of property wisdom – The Personal Finance Hub has just launched so the Property section content, insights and advice will be getting built out over the next few months (at least something to look forward to during lockdown 🙂 ).

In the meantime, make sure you are subscribed to the monthly email and social media channels to ensure you don’t miss new content when released. As a sneak peek, some of the first property articles will cover:

Why you shouldn’t focus on house prices when thinking about the right time to buy?

Is a Buy to Let property still a profitable investment?

Why adding value to your house is one of the best forms of investment?
