Episode 11: The latest on lending and winter maintenance

With rumours of interest rate rises, this month's episode of Listen Up Landlords looks at the latest on lending. Presenters NRLA CEO Ben Beadle (@BeadleBen) and Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_)  are joined by NRLA policy director Chris Norris and Doug Hall of mortgage provider 3mc to discuss all things financial. They examine where rates and heading and what the impact could be on existing landlords and those planning to enter the market. Elsewhere Catherine Behdad of the NRLA advice team talks about the hot topics on the phonelines throughout the month, including access when it comes to maintenance and repairs. Later in the show we are joined by Steve Barnes of insurers Hamilton Fraser and Grace Conlon of estate and letting agent Portico to talk about cold weather checks, repairs and maintenance issues as the mercury falls.
