🏡 Bank Rate held at 3.75% — what does it mean for the property market?

Today the Bank of England has held interest rates at 3.75%, although the vote was closer than previously, with 3 members voting for a rise to 4%.

So what does this mean if you’re thinking of buying or selling your home?

🔑 For buyers:
The good news is that we’re not currently seeing the rapid house-price growth we’ve experienced in some previous markets. With annual price growth relatively subdued, there can be opportunities to negotiate — particularly if you’re a proceedable buyer with your finances in place.

For first-time buyers especially, the current market can offer a chance to secure a property without feeling like prices are running away from you.

🏠 For sellers:
Buyers are still out there. But in a more price-sensitive market, getting the pricing and marketing strategy right from day one is more important than ever.

A realistically priced, well-presented property can still attract strong interest and achieve a successful sale.

📈 And what about mortgage rates?

This is the interesting part. Mortgage rates don’t simply follow today’s Bank Rate — fixed-rate mortgages are influenced by expectations of where interest rates are heading.

With inflationary pressures still around, particularly from energy costs, the path ahead isn’t completely clear.

That doesn’t mean buyers should wait, or sellers should panic.

It means good advice, realistic pricing and understanding the market matter.

💬 If you’re thinking of buying, selling or simply wondering what your home could be worth in the current market, I’d be happy to have a chat — no obligation.

The average selling commission for estate agents is 1.2% + VAT in the UK. Therefor my vendor saved just over £11,000 in commission if she would have used a High Street agent.
