Are you worried about the effect of rising interest rates on your mortgage? Then this is the podcast for you. Gemma Bennett of The Mortgage Mum answers your questions on buying, remortgaging and stepping on the property ladder during a cost-of-living crisis

Should I wait for interest rates to fall before I remortgage? What is the best deal for a first-time buyer when interest rates are so high? I want to move but is now a good time?

Do any of these questions sound familiar? Maybe you are in a similar situation – about to buy a home or remortgage but nervous about high rates?

If so then help is at hand, thanks to What Mortgage’s very own expert columnist Gemma Bennett of The Mortgage Mum who dropped in for a chat with our editor, Kate Saines, earlier this week to answer your burning questions in the first What Mortgage Podcast.
