It’s the August Market Update 
The property market is incredibly hot right now. In the UK it’s crazy, but on this month’s market update, The Robs are revealing some numbers from the US that will blow your mind!

Hub Extra 
This week’s Hub Extra resource is a tool called Propcast which refers to itself as a house selling weather forecast.  
It gives you a weather map of the UK showing you which areas are the hottest, meaning it should be quicker and easier to sell your home.  
Right now, it seems that everywhere in the UK might require your factor 50 sun cream.
