Introduction
By Ellie Duncan
The Chancellor's Budget on October 29 delivered some but not many answers about Brexit, while pensions were left largely untouched as the government awaits the outcome of its Green Paper on social care.
There were four policies to be found in the Budget Red Book related to housing and the residential mortgage market.
Philip Hammond also provided an update on the economic outlook as the UK prepares to leave the EU in March 2019.
Read more about the economic announcements in the Budget, as well as pensions and housing, in this guide which is worth an indicative 50 minutes of CPD.
