Baby Banks; Gazundering; Used Cars

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Baby Bank charity Little Village says it's supporting over 20% more families than this time last year. Winifred Robinson speaks to one mum about how rising costs and inflation led to her seeking the help of the people she refers to as "angels", plus Sophie Livingstone, CEO of Little Village tells us they cannot keep up with demand. It doesn't feel very long ago that we were reporting on the soaring cost of second hand cars but that's not the case today. Used car prices are coming down. We find out what's driving it and how it might play out in the months to come. And you've heard of "gazumping" but what about "gazundering"? Rather than sellers upping the price its the buyers dropping their offer that's on the up right now. Is it a natural outcome of the housing market slowing down, should you try it if you're looking to buy and how do you protect yourself if you're selling your home? Nathan Emerson from PropertyMark joins us to explain. PRESENTER - WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER - CATHERINE EARLAM
