Where's best to place savings now then?

Under the mattress?
Property abroad?
Crypto?
S&P fund?

None of those would be classed as savings

Lump it all on Ireland to qualify for the Euros. It's a sure thing ;D

Surely high interest rates means you can get a better yielding account?

It does. Generally the interest on loans if higher than on savings but you shone fit to get four percent our so on cash isas.

It does, but the author has been hoodwinked by investing into crypto bro.

Majority of people will have their money in poor interest paying accounts, key is too keep moving it. If everyone did that we'd get better rates but unfortunately that will never happen.

Are house prices on the slide now with the constant increase in interest rates ?
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

The data is always months behind. We probably won't know for sure for another 3-6 months. Mortgages all come down to the monthly at the end of the day. So depends on peoples affordability and what they are willing to pay. But there are no shortage of jobs and wages are on the rise still so its a case of waiting and see.

Not quoting the mass-ignored poster above. Seems to be a couple of weeks for housing market to react to monetary policy change.

Monetary policy operates with an unknown lag.

How many times have we heard this will be the event that eventually tips the housing market?? I do think this is the one though  :D housing in GB, specifically SE England, is the driver of the whole UK market, when it drops there as already appears to be on the horizon, the contagion will spread to the peasants in the regions.
