The agent successfully navigates to the 'Market news' page. The agent identifies 'Newcastle BS and Funding 365 raise maximum LTVs' as a relevant article published on June 19, 2025. The agent states that 'Newcastle Building Society increased maximum LTV for new build flats to 90% (from 80%) and for new build houses to 95%.' The agent states that 'Funding 365 lifted the maximum LTV for its light refurbishment bridging loan.' The agent correctly identifies that 'Planning approvals down 9% in Q1: Housing department' and 'Rightmove reveals £1m homes for sale has doubled since 2019' do not contain information on interest rate changes or new product offerings from specific lenders.
