Investors are fascinated by house prices and the wider property sector remains a regular hot spot to park cash. In this week’s Shares we come at the sector from several different angles: housebuilders, disruptive digital estate agents, commercial, specialist funds and more. We also ask if Marmite-to-PG Tips owner Unilever is worth buying now Kraft Heinz has given up, discuss why Inmarsat faces a payout freeze and why dividends are edging nearer for RBS. We speak exclusively to the boss of remote meetings platform LoopUp in the wake of Amazon Chime’s launch, explain how to make a decent return in peer-to-peer lending, while the ed reveals what’s behind huge dividend hikes across the mining sector. Plus there’s loads of other interesting features, company news, our best investment ideas, market stats and much more.
