Fears of house prices plummeting were widely reported last year, with the rise in mortgage rates only adding to the levels of uncertainty. Yet according to recent Zoopla research more than half of UK homeowners saw their home values stay the same or increase over the course of 2023. 

The property market is looking positive this February, as the recent decrease in mortgage rates seems to have boosted optimism among buyers.  

Recent Rightmove data suggests that although the spring months are typically busy for the property market, it’s February which fares best in terms of finding a buyer and selling most quickly.
 

There’s no denying its been an interesting start to the year.

The first weeks of January saw lenders easing mortgage rates in response to positive data about the UK economy, an increase in house sales and continued speculation that interest rates have peaked*.

If you are looking for a perhaps more affordable way of finding a new home or entering the property ladder buying a leasehold property could be the best option for you.

Whether you are buying your first home or simply looking to relocate, it is essential that you understand the complexities of leasehold ownership.
