Another new Prime Minister, what can we expect now?

A Landbay Spotlight webinar featuring Simon French, Chief Economist at the UK bank, Panmure Gordon and writer for The Times.

About the spotlight

In this session, Simon discusses the impact of the political turmoil on the housing market and the economy in general. He will look at how this could affect UK economic growth, interest rates and property.

Hosted by John Goodall, CEO of Landbay.

Topics include:

• What options will the new Prime Minister have – is it back to austerity?
• Could we see a more growth focussed approach next year?
• Where will interest rates peak, and how will this affect the housing market?
• If Labour wins in 2024, will their economic policy be much different?
