We've used Squirrel investment and mortgage services. On the investment front, we found it easy to use and the interest rates were excellent, selling our investments was easy when we needed to as well. Mortgage services were great too - Emma listened to what we needed, and our circumstances and got us a fantastic deal. The process was smooth from start to finish, with excellent communication and advice along the way.

Rodney’s Ravings: Housing-led recovery will eventually filter through to the wider economy

By Rodney Dickens

Our housing market was one of the first parts of the economy to feel the impact of rising interest rates—and it will be one of the first to benefit now that rates are on the way down again. But how long will rate cuts take to flow through to the rest of the economy?
