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.

Scrolling property portals is useful, but registering with an estate agency can give buyers a more personal, proactive search experience, especially when the right home is about to come to market.

It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.

August does not have to be a quiet month for your property search. With the right financial preparation and viewing strategy, summer buyers can uncover opportunities others may miss.

The rental market is still growing, but the way properties are managed has changed. August is a useful time for landlords to review tenancies, rent processes and record-keeping.
