High mortgage rates and rising prices have led more buyers to seek alternative financial support to enter the market or move up the housing ladder.
The latest Survey of English Housing shows that in 2022/23, 1 in 10 homeowners relied on financial help from friends and family to buy their home, an increase from 1 in 15 homeowners a decade ago.
The use of personal savings as a financing method has significantly increased, with nearly half of all buyers relying on savings, up from 39% ten years ago.

July data just released by the Bank of England saw a pick-up in mortgage approvals to just shy of 62,000, the highest monthly rate since the Truss mini budget in September 2022.
This July mortgage data precedes the Bank of England's first interest rate cut in August but shows the building sentiment towards the housing market as mortgage rates moved down ahead of the Bank of England meeting.
With mortgage rates moving lower again since, mortgage approval volumes should strengthen further over the next few months which in turn will feed into higher transaction numbers.🏡

The government has committed to economic growth as its top priority and it has placed housing delivery at the heart of its growth strategy.
Economic growth is hard to achieve without significant population growth.
The population of England and Wales increased by nearly 610,000 people over the past year, to a total of 60.9 million. That is the most significant growth in 75 years at a time when European nations are experiencing a decline.
Building new homes is the key to solving the nation's housing crisis and expected to drive economic growth too.

The government has made clear its commitment to getting new homes built to address the housing crisis and surveys show that growing numbers of people are on-side with the idea of new developments.
But, it will be challenging. Only 114,000 new homes were built in the first half of 2024 in England and Wales, 11% fewer than the same period of 2022, according to DLUHC.
Indeed the NHBC, who log completions in a different way, suggest that the rate of new home delivery will need to more than double if we are to deliver 1.5 million homes over the next five years.
The urgency to reverse any downward trend is clear and much hope is hanging on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill to create a more efficient and better-funded planning process.

The long-awaited cut in the Bank of England base rate finally materialised on August 1st, signalling the Bank's confidence that inflationary pressures are slowly coming under control. This first cut since 2020 will be welcome news to homeowners with variable mortgage rates – or those considering a move. 📊

Commentators now expect one or possibly two more cuts before the end of 2024 suggesting an uptick in market positivity in the coming months. 🥳

Property market confidence is soaring to its highest level in two years, making now the perfect time to consider making your move. As the Starmers settle into Downing Street, the housing market is experiencing a renewed sense of optimism.🏡

Today the Bank of England voted to reduce interest rates from 5.25% to 5%. Commenting on the decision, Kevin Shaw, our National Sales Managing Director, said:

"The reduction in interest rates announced by the Bank of England today is good news for the property industry and the millions of people wishing to move, remortgage or get onto the housing ladder after a period of uncertainty.

"LRG (our umbrella company) has seen positive trading in July, with sales figures strong and an increasing number of new applicants registering. Today’s decision is a strong indication that growth is here to stay.

"There’s lot of pent-up demand in the market after months of political uncertainty and today’s decision on rates is the starting pistol that we’ve been waiting for.

"After a good July, we look forward to an even better August and the likelihood, in many cases, of getting people into their new homes before Christmas."

We had a fantastic time celebrating the launch of our latest sustainable branch, Sovereign Harbour! We had a great turn out, and RNLI cut the ribbon. The star of the show was our unofficial office mascot Frank, a gorgeous elderly brown lab, who came along wearing a silver bow tie (Frank loves to visit daily for his biscuit!).

What makes the branch sustainable?

🌱 fully powered by renewable green energy
🌱 low-VOC paints release less gas than traditional paints
🌱 low-flow taps save up to 50% of water consumption
🌱 all fixtures and fittings were chosen to be as environmentally friendly as possible, with many retained from the existing branch to further reduce carbon footprint
🌱 all wood was sourced from locally produced FSC-certified wood
🌱 the carpet is made from 65% post-industrial recycled content and the supplier will repurpose and recycle the finished item when it reaches the end of life
🌱 ceiling tiles are manufactured in the UK using bio-soluble mineral wool, perlite, clay and starch. They are100% recyclable
🌱 every element of the re-fit has been produced locally to Eastbourne or in the UK to reduce transport emissions and to support local businesses.
