How to beat Santander 123 cut threat and negative rates

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/07/29

It’s a well-known fact that everyone who works for a bank is a sociopath and thief who doesn’t sleep at night, not because they have a conscience, but because they’re vampires (ugly ones) feeding off the goodwill of the living. Ok, it’s not a fact. But the way some of them behave it’s not difficult to think bad things. This week, we expose Lloyds Bank as liars, look at just how sneaky NatWest has become with its charges and how Santander lured in millions of savers with a deal that’s suddenly

‘Exploited! Barmy Army!’ ‘Exploited! Barmy Army!’ Come on? Who still remembers the early 80s war cry from post-punk nihilists, The Exploited? And who else thinks it could equally now apply to first of the big post-Brexit foreign business invasions – the Japanese takeover of British chip-making legend, Arm? With the pound down 20% against the yen since the referendum, heavily indebted Japenese company Softbank has made a massively overvalued offer to buy the crown jewels of mobile phone

This week we meet Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones to talk about his guitar collection and... oh, sorry, that's not true. However we dress this up, the truth is that this week's show and probably next week and the week after features more Brexit. Not too much though. Saved by of all things, Milton Keynes and more specifically its car parks. To kick off, Simon Lambert, Rebecca Rutt and George Frost take a reflective look over the week's events and wonder in the wake of Brexit... What's

Britain in gloom - This is Money podcast

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/07/08

It’s started. You can’t decide to leave the world’s biggest trading block and not expect some serious financial consequences. Especially when the boys responsible for it ran away. The economics of Brexit are suddenly looking dark. We could be living under the cloud for many years. Already, just two weeks on from the referendum, we are beginning to see the prospect of falling investment, falling house prices and job insecurity. Householders, especially those in debt, need to prepare

Over and out: our entertaining look at Brexit fallout

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/07/01

In the run up to the ‘greatest constitutional crisis of modern times’ it was said that no one knew what would happen if we voted ourselves out of the EU. But like so much of the twaddle peddled by both campaigns’ liars-in-chief, this was also not the case. We did kind of know if only we had listened. The cool head at the Bank of England, Mark Carney, laid out the prospects in pretty clear and certain terms. And it is coming to pass. The majority of people, it seems, only listened to the

Around the same time that once-loved High Street retailer BHS was tumbling into administration, the journalist Roberto Saviano, who spent more 10 years exposing the criminal workings of the Mafia, announced to the Hay Literary Festival that Britain was the most corrupt country on the planet. Our financial affairs, it seems are being eyed with interest and suspicion around the world. What better way to celebrate then, than to have another high-profile inquiry into the shenanigans behind the BHS

It's not been a great week for big business? Sir Philip Green and the bosses at BHS have seen even greater criticism and Sports Direct's Mike Ashley was hauled in front of MPs. So is our modern of big business capitalism going badly wrong? Have we built an economy where it's low pay and bad conditions for the workers but huge rewards for the bosses? Do we need to worry about inequality? Simon Lambert and Rachel Rickard Straus, of This is Money, join Georgie Frost, of Share Radio, in the

Death of the High Street: who needs shops anyway?

2016/06/03

Walk around town centres in Britain and what do you see? A few chain stores, a Poundland or two, betting shops, charity shops, lots of empty shops, Amazon delivery vans, tumbleweed? We don't shop in the High Street like we used to. Even Poundland has a website with free delivery for orders over £50 (OK, that's a lot of sweets). The High Street has just got a little bit deader with BHS and Austin Reed the latest casualties. What went so wrong? Is it sad, simply inevitable or perhaps good

The dark art of banking and getting a mortgage

2016/05/20

Have banks been let off the hook again? That's been the reaction to the CMA report into retail banking. In this week's This is Money podcast with Share Radio, Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at whether we should be doing more to break-up the big banks and why many years on from the rip-off bank charges battle, they've just been told to clean up their act. Also on this week's show we discuss the dark art of mortgage affordability calculators - and why some lenders seem to offer

If Britain were to leave the EU, it MIGHT prove to be an economic disaster for us. The Bank of England governor Mark Carney, whose job it is to point things like this out, and other commentators, have said so. And the leavers don't like it. Interest rates, house prices and all the other things that make Britain's dinner parties great might be affected. Is this just politics dressed up as economics? Or should we be worried?

The housing crisis just got risky

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/05/06

We’re not building enough homes – about 100,000 too few every year. It makes housing unaffordable. To ‘help’, Barclays bank has decided to step in and offer 100% mortgages to first-time buyers. How quaintly 2007 is that? The other catch is that parents have to stump up some of their nest egg as part of the deal. Is this a good thing?

Has buy-to-let peaked - and what next for property?

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/04/28

A buy-to-let boom in the run-up to the stamp duty hike for landlords and second homeowners triggered the biggest distortion of the market recorded, says the Council of Mortgage Lenders. So, with one tax hike now in and another on the way in the form of cuts to mortgage interest relief against income tax on rent, has buy-to-let peaked?

This episode is dedicated to Prince. We were already planning a bit of a musical theme after a reader emailed This is Money to ask if she was entitled to a refund for an AC/DC concert. She no longer wanted to attend because the lead singer Brian Johnson has been replaced with the infamously unreliable Axl Rose. But Prince’s death was a shock. We’re all fans. Our website is purple! RIP. It’s also been, we think, a bad week for buy-to-let. Following a record splurge on buy-to-let

2016/04/15

…everything to do with finance is beset with problems. From insurance companies that spew policy small print at terminally patients to avoid paying out, through mobile phone companies with the customer services skills of a three-minute-old turtle scuttling away from the first sign of a phone call, to the tax that few understand, even fewer pay but everyone seems to hate - inheritance tax. This week we’re looking at the problem of inheritance tax. We’re looking at some others as well but

Tax is suddenly exciting news. For normal people, it’s the start of a new tax year with another dump of - some ill-conceived - changes from Chancellor George Osborne to deal with. For the disgustingly rich and famous, thanks to a leaky law firm, details have been emerging of their attempts at avoiding paying into state coffers around the world. Even David Cameron is implicated. And after some blithering attempts to divert attention from his involvement there are calls for him to

In the way that worried nuclear bunker owners are probably stock-piling food as the reality of a President Trump dawns on them, so the Bank of England is preparing for the financial equivalent. The bank that has its finger on the financial pulse of the nation is worried. Worried enough to create a ‘what if…’ model that incorporates total financial meltdown, a collapse in the value of housing and the end of banking as we know it. It maybe the stuff of nightmares but it’s also what This is

This week might go down as the one Chancellor George Osborne got found out. It’s not the first time one of his Budgets turned into a fiasco, but this time his U-turn – on slashing payments to disabled people - is going to cost £4bn. When Parliament convened to discuss how on earth this was going to be paid for, he didn’t show up. And we’re still without an explanation. We pay our taxes to enjoy a better life in a civilised society – not to allow politicians to play games of political
