Will tariffs mean that there will be more 'Donald dodgers'? Or have the American super rich become rather less rich? https://t.co/wjmbOjKtk2

Stat of the day Former Google boss Eric Schmidt has paid £42m for a Holland Park mansion. The property will be rented out, although it would probably not be right to regard this deal as signaling the return of buy-to-let https://t.co/SSthf4PhZC

Stat of the day In reponse to #tariffs traders are pricing in three cuts to the @bankofengland base rate this year, with the chance of a fourth. This could bring #mortgage rate cuts @CoventryBS and @skiptonbs are already trimming the cost of their loan deals 🏠

Stat of the day Tariffs could be bad news for US drinkers of coffee ☕️☕️ Imports of more expensive arabica beans from Colombia will be subject to 10% tariffs. Imports from Vietnam of robusta beans for instant coffee ☕️will be subject to 46% tariffs

Need a break from #tariff numbers? Contemplate the fact that Yorkshire-based Greencore makes 452 million Yorkshire puddings a year as @DuncanHugo reports https://t.co/xHC0UKYQQT

Stat of the day A month's worth of property completions were done in the last five days of March ahead of the withdrawal of the stamp duty perks. Now the question is: will government incentivise housebuilders to meet the 1.5 million new homes target? https://t.co/85jQMRWJEc

Stat of the day from @AskNationwide which reports that annual house price growth is stable at 3.9%. Northern Ireland is bucking the trend, however, with growth of 13.5%, the highest recorded in the region since 2021. London is the weakest performer with a rise of 1.9%🏠

RT @AnneAshworth: The rise of tailoring continues. People want fewer, but better clothes for work as @EmmaWillisLtd tells me https://t.co/…

Interesting quote from Larry Fink of @BlackRock in this by @JPFordRojas ‘The unspoken assumption is that capitalism didn’t work and it’s time to try something new. But there’s another way to look at it: capitalism did work – just for too few people.’ https://t.co/bZpYglDjiA

Stat of the day from @bankofengland Mortgage approvals dropped to 65,481 in February, down from 66,041 in January. A signal that the market will slow when the stamp duty concessions end at midnight? Or a sign that homebuyers think interest rates will fall later this year?

Stat of the day from @HMRCgovuk There were 108,250 sales of homes in February - 13% up over a month and 28% higher over a year. Buyers are hurrying to beat the March 31 stamp duty deadline. But some have delayed a 🏠move for several years and do not want to wait any longer

Stat of the day from @OBR_UK The current household savings rates has increased from 2.75% in 2023 to 6.25%, suggesting that people are, sensibly, putting money aside. But it is forecast to fall below 3.35% by 2030 which suggests that tax bills are set to rise rather sharply

Stat of the day from @OBR_UK which is estimating that 1.3 million new homes will be delivered by 2029. The government's target is 1.5 million. Could ministers now decide that some version of Help to Buy is required to plug the gap? #SpringStatement
