Is buy-to-let still a viable investment in the UK?
From professional landlords to expats seeking investment opportunities, the buy-to-let market in the UK has long been a popular choice for investors seeking to grow their wealth.
Has it been a damp spring for the UK property market?
Met office figures revealed that spring 2023 was one of the dullest in history, with the UK seeing only 70% of the season’s average sunshine and more than its average rainfall.

For high-net-worth clients with more complex borrowing needs, Chiraag Patel explains how private banks can offer a more tailored lending solution.
