First-time buyers, Green energy and Chinese EVs

You and Yours

Available for over a year

How green are the renewable energy tariffs we're offered? The energy provider Ovo says a lot of it is 'greenwashing' that doesn't help the move towards renewable power. We find out what it's doing instead and how customers who want a green deal can find one. Also - what impact will the arrival of cheaper Chinese electric cars have on the UK market? Buy-to-let properties are increasingly going up for auction - why are they being sold and who's buying? And as a Tough Mudder event faces a backlash for the state in which it leaves a London park, how do you host a private event in a public space without upsetting the locals? PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
