Stuart Wemyss | Lending rules & predicting the property market | Insights from Investopoly

Predicting the property market and getting it right doesn’t make you a nostradamus but when you get it right and people want an answer, what do you say? In this episode Stuart Wemyss Director of Prosolution and host of the Investopoly podcast joins us back from Episode 39. Stuart shares insights into how the lending space has tightened up on borrowing, why people are upgrading over investing and how he came to his accurate prediction.
