A look by Realtor.com at transactions in the properties that carry the former president’s brand found the numbers to be decidedly underwhelming. Prices for the apartments in his buildings “have either declined or appreciated at a slower pace than the local markets they’re in,” according to the official listing site of

Post Date 26/05/2023

According to the most recent data released by the Bank of England, the number of mortgage approvals rose for the first time in six months between January and February of this year.

This period saw a rise from 39,647 to 43,563, following a sustained decline in the latter half of 2022.

Mortgage approval rates increased by a further 18% in March of this year

I will spare you the preachin’, just to keep my worlds from colliding.

I’ve been playing with it in spare moments. Last night I made this goofy request:

Hey, ChatGPT! Write a 10-line poem about Richard
