Bank of England – First Base Rate Decrease! The Bank of England have announced a rate cut of 0.25% to the base rate which takes the rate to 5.00%. This is the first cut by the Bank of England since 2020. Hopefully this is the start of further potential rate cuts in the coming future.

Mortgage Rates

Lenders have begun to decrease their fixed rates over the past few weeks. This means the cost of borrowing is slightly lower than it was previously.  If you are looking at purchasing a new property, now could be potentially a good time. Generally, the market is quieter in the summer holiday period which can mean less competition on a property compared to usual.

If you want to confirm the maximum borrowing you can afford, email our mortgage advisor Harry at ht@capitalestateagents.com to arrange an initial call.

Renting a new home can be an exciting fresh start—but it’s important to know what you’re getting into. Whether you’re moving into your first rental or switching properties, understanding what to look for can save you stress, money, and future headaches. Here’s a detailed guide to what every tenant should check before signing on the dotted line.

If you’re hoping to be in your new home by Christmas, time is running out. With UK sale timelines now topping 200 days from listing to completion, September may be your last chance to start the process. Here’s what you need to know before it’s too late…

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

When it comes to selling your home, small improvements can make a big difference to the final price you achieve. The good news is that you don’t always need a full renovation. With a few cost-effective upgrades, you can boost your property’s appeal and attract more motivated buyers.
