    What would you do with £208million? Ahead of another Euromillions rollover, This is Money spoke to an adviser to those fortunate few who have scooped a jackpot to get some practical tips on what to do if you win big…just in case! Would friends and family be top of your list when it comes to how to spend it... or something else? Lee Boyce, Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost discuss. Simon turns his focus on The Big Winter Fuel u-turn and the spending review – 'pray for Rachel and all of us,' he says. We borrowed too much to buy our home - what can we do about our huge mortgage? And an auction expert revealed the four types of property that savvy buyers are snapping up right now.

  2. How far would you go to avoid your personal tax raid?

    How far would you go to avoid your personal tax raid?

    Tax is an increasingly taxing subject for many people who feel hard done by as Britain’s complicated system catches them out. From quirks of the system, such as the 60 per cent tax trap and child benefit removal, to the childcare cliff edge, frozen thresholds, and pensions soon to be dragged into inheritance tax, there’s a whole host of things to drive us mad. And, it’s getting worse. The Tories and now Labour have both chosen to ratchet up the things that trip people up to raise money, rather than sort out a tax system that most economists say is a total mess. So how far would you go to avoid your personal tax raid? And is tax changing people’s behaviour? Lee highlights how. On this podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert dive into how the British tax tail is wagging the dog. Plus, as the Switch 2 arrives and the video game industry goes from strength to strength, should you invest in video game firms? How much do you need for a comfortable retirement – and what does that get you? And finally, you put up an 8 foot fence for privacy, your neighbour has gone from non-plussed to threatening to call the council over a planning breach, what do you do? The team have some answers. And for all the listeners that Simon directed to the gem that is the comments section of the story, here’s the link. > Are we allowed an 8ft fence? Our neighbour says we've broken planning rules

  3. Has Nationwide found a winning formula with its cash bonuses?

    Has Nationwide found a winning formula with its cash bonuses?

    Banks have many tricks up their sleeves to try to attract customers and reward loyalty but Britain's biggest building society Nationwide appears to have hit upon a winning formula. Its Fairer Share payments are back for a third year, with a £100 bonus for qualifying members. Fairer Share has been credited with helping boost Nationwide's already strong position in the current account market. The payments were announced as Nationwide posted bumper pre-tax profits of £2.3billion in the year to April, up from £1.77billion last year, after recording its highest ever year for growth in mortgage lending and current account balances. But not all members are getting a Fairer Share payment and some aren't happy about that. Should they complain? After all, the criteria has been the same for three years now. On this episode of the This is Money Podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert discuss Fairer Share and Nationwide's success. Plus, what are rival banks offering customers to tempt them in - and how should you evaluate the perks? How rich would you be if you'd bought Nvidia shares throughout the last two decades - or if you had a Delorean time machine to jump into and go back and buy some. Are we reaching the tail end of the low fixed rate mortage borrowers? And finally, should you let your talkative partner show people round your home for sale... or would it be bettet to let the estate agent do the job?

  5. What red flags do you need to spot before you buy a home - and how do you find them?

    What red flags do you need to spot before you buy a home - and how do you find them?

    How long did you take looking round your home before you put an offer in for it? The average prospective buyer spends just 43 minutes.  Surprise, surprise, research suggests that it pays to take your time. This is week, Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce talk about what should be on your checklist before you take the plunge and buy a property. Should you go by vibes alone, or do you really need to kick the tyres?  And when you do buy, what happens if the seller leaves junk like a mouldy fridge, grimy washing machine and a stained sofa? We reveal all. Buy-to-let has taken a battering in recent years – but there are still pockets of Britain where investors are finding a decent yield.  Cash Isas are back in the spotlight with a review likely to come in July – how likely is it that they will be tinkered with?  And with news defunct furniture brand MFI will return after 20 years, what stores would you like to see make a comeback?

  7. Why is the bond market so powerful?

    2 THG 5

    Why is the bond market so powerful?

    When it comes to investing, it's stock markets that regularly hog the headlines but it's government bond markets that really matter. Share prices taking a prolonged tumble is one thing but if bonds take a hammering, the financial world starts to really the notice. A textbook example occurred a few weeks ago when in the aftermath of Donald Trump's introduction of US tariffs, stock markets took a dive and the President refused to budge. But when bond market ructions started to get investors and even central bankers worried, Trump appeared to take heed and introduced his 90 day pause. On this podcast episode, Georgie Frost, Tanya Jefferies and Simon Lambert discuss government bonds, the basics of how they work, why they matter and what impact they have on ordinary investors and our finances. Plus, the state pension top-up mess that refuses to go away, how to find the best Sipp to invest for retirement, and is a care annuity the answer to our care costs problems or just a treatment for the symptoms? And finally, there's been a mass stampede to cash Isas, what's going on - and is the tax-free saving allowance still likely to get chopped. Tell us what you think about the This is Money Podcast We are running a listener survey, to get your thoughts on what you like about the podcast and what we can improve. We would really appreciate if you could take a few minutes to fill it in - you can do so here.

    Banks want to lend you a bigger mortgage - but is that a good idea?

    Major banks are tweaking their rules to allow borrowers to get bigger mortgages, while a new upstart lender is offering seven times salary home loans. Is this a welcome easing of the too tight rules to suit people’s needs or the start of a recipe for financial disaster? On this week’s podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert dive into the world of mortgages and look at whether lenders are coming up with a solution or creating more problems. Is this a repeat of the heady days before the financial crisis, have stress tests helped borrowers avoid the stress of rising rates, and would you even want a seven times income mortgage? Plus, is the Bank of England about to aggressively cut interest rates in the wake of Donald Trump’s tariff chaos. Also on this episode, why our retirement expert Sir Steve Webb is loving his new solar panels and how to work out what kind of investor you are and how much risk you should take. And finally, a definitive list of the 50 best British cars of all time has been released, do you agree with it?
