eNews – February 2025

While many household budgets have taken a hit these last few years, it finally looks like inflation is coming down from its unnerving highs. In this month’s newsletter, we offer up some tips to take advantage of any upcoming rate cuts and get ahead financially. 

Next, we tackle the topic of guarantor mortgages, how they might help your children get on the property market, and some potential downsides you’ll need to be aware of before signing up for one. And if marriage is on the horizon for you or your kids, we consider how a prenup might help and ways to start that sometimes difficult conversation. 

We then turn our attention to tax and all the ways it can still pop up in retirement. And for soon-to-be or current retirees, it’s worth looking at the impact rising prices can have on our savings and, by extension, our retirement plans.

Enjoy the edition.
