Welcome to Conveyancing Podcast Episode 3.

Matthew and Thomas explore the weekly news roundup in the Conveyancing world.

In this podcast we explore a report by the Law Society Gazette which examines a new housing disputes mechanism proposed by the Law Society to give more support to landlords and tenants when disputes arise.

Another article by the Law Society Gazette looks at a Solicitor who has been struck off for paying nearly £5,000 of a client's funds directly into their personal bank account.

Moving on to the BBC we look at some lenders who have given their customers who are affected by Coronavirus a repayment holiday on a case by case basis.

Another article from the BBC examines a survey of First time buyers and what they see as the best ways the government can help them to get onto the property ladder.

Coronavirus also raises its ugly head in the next article brought to you by the Daily Mail.  The article shows how the housing market is taking a hit since its recent highs after the election victory by the Conservative government. It examines historical house price changes linked to average income and warns of the dangers of the Coronavirus.

The next article, also by the Daily Mail, examines mortgage prisoners who have been locked into mortgages with unregulated mortgage providers since the 2008 banking crisis.  The government are forming a working group to try to address the problem and allow these prisoners to move their mortgage to newer, lower cost packages.  They are urging banks not to repossess houses where the occupants are in this predicament.

First Time buyer magazine tells us about a new housing estate being built in Milton Keynes.  The prices seem high to be aimed at young families or first time buyers but Milton Keynes would be a good spot to lay down roots.  The housing estate has good local amenities.

Legal future brings us story of a new mega merger between two top law firms in the South East creating a new Law Firm with a turnover of £40 million putting it in the top 100 firms in the UK.

Finally on a lighter note we look at a beautiful seven bedroom home in the South Downs from Country Life magazine.  It comes with its own Bishop's palace in the back garden.

Thanks again for tuning in and we hope you enjoyed the show.
