We’re looking at something that affects almost everybody watching or listening — whether you’re employed, running a business, investing, building a Buy-to-Let portfolio or simply trying to work out what to do with your money.

And that’s the economic squeeze we’re currently experiencing.

Inflation hasn’t disappeared. UK CPI inflation was 3.1% in August 2026, up from 2.9% the previous month and still above the Bank of England’s 2% target.

At the same time, we’re seeing a softer employment market. In Scotland, unemployment was estimated at 5.1% between May and July 2026, compared with 4.9% across the UK.

Across the UK there were approximately 707,000 job vacancies in the three months from May to July, but around 2.5 unemployed people for every available vacancy.

So we want to explore the gap between employment, opportunity and the cost of living — and ultimately ask: what does all of this mean for people trying to create wealth? And particularly, what does it mean for Buy-to-Let property investors?

Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to understand this as Lettings Director, Richard Cook and one of the UK’s most successful property investors, Jim Parker are on hand to discuss.
