    Will rising rates stop the house price boom?

    Will rising rates stop the house price boom?
    The pandemic house price boom caught almost everyone by surprise and has continued to run for longer that most expected, but is it now about to end.

    Rising interest rates and the cost of living crunch are putting a serious squeeze on how much buyers can borrow - and that means they can't keep paying ever higher prices for homes.

    Meanwhile, stories are emerging of banks and building societies getting cold feet on some of the offers that ambitious buyers have had accepted and the lenders are down-valuing properties.

    What's a down valuation? When the bank or building says, 'we're sorry but that property isn't worth what you have agreed to pay'.

    Combine that with the best mortgage rates having more than doubled and you might finally have the recipe for the property market running out of steam.

    On this week's podcast, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert discuss whether house prices can defy gravity once more.

    Also on the show, should you sign up to a savings platform to manage your cash in one place and hopefully get a boost on rates?

    Plus, what should investors do as a slow motion crash hits stock markets and sends the price of many shares and popular funds and trusts sinking.

    And finally, fed up of being told to cancel your subscriptions to save money? We look at ways to keep your favourite shows and music but cut back on costs.

    The Art of Pricing Power
    Both Amazon and Costco are expected to increase their membership fees this year. Will they surprise customers (and investors) by increasing their fees by more than they have in the past? Maria Gallagher analyzes what’s expected and why pricing power is harder for entertainment businesses like Spotify, Netflix, and Disney+. She also discusses the expansion of McDonald’s partnership with Beyond Meat, the anticipated IPO of Impossible Foods, and why she’s not as bullish as others on the plant-based protein industry.

    With new plans to tackle bogus ratings online: How much can you trust reviews?

    With new plans to tackle bogus ratings online: How much can you trust reviews?
    The Government is planning a major crackdown on fake reviews. Under proposals, it will become illegal to pay someone to write, or host, bogus online ratings.

    How much weight should we put behind buying decisions when it comes to reviews and ratings, and what exactly are the plans to prevent this kind of consumer manipulation?

    This week, Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss this, along with the others measures the Government is planning, including on subscription traps and Christmas savings clubs, and how it'll be enforced.

    How much are you saving? You might think a lack of a rainy day pot is solely an issue for those on low incomes, but you'd be wrong.

    A quarter of Britain's wealthiest households do not have one - why is this the case?

    That comes as fixed-rate deals nudge higher, but Lee warns listeners not to get too excited.

    Are you paying for too much mobile phone data? And would you take part in a home swap in order to save on your summer holiday?

    On this week’s episode of Decoder Nilay Patel talks to Phil Spencer, the guy in charge of Xbox at Microsoft. They discuss not only the next-generation Xbox and PS5 just arriving in stores now, but how gaming itself has become part of mainstream culture, a trend that has definitely accelerated during the pandemic. We’ve also reached an inflection point for game streaming: Google, Amazon, and Microsoft all have services that allow consumers to play games on any device by streaming them over the internet, kind of like Netflix for games.
