August began with news from the Bank of England raising interest rates by 0.5 percentage points to 1.75%, with the possibility of a further point rise to 2.25% in September floated by some economists. This is to tackle runaway inflation which is the result of unforeseen factors like the pandemic, the war in Ukraine

Market Comment
What’s going to happen with house prices?
hether you’re looking to upgrade, ready to sell, or just daydreaming, it’s important to keep an eye on the market so you’re in a strong position when you make your next move. With so many factors influencing the market at the moment, we thought it would be useful to break things down, and try to predict what the future holds for house prices in London and the surrounding area.
An analysis by L&C Mortgages, reported in The Guardian in August, found the average lowest two and five-year fixed rates were 3.46% and 3.5% respectively. This is up from 1.34% and 1.55% in January. In August, buyer demand in the housing market remained strong at 50% above the five-year average, and annual UK house price growth increased slightly in July to 11.0%, from 10.7% in June. Whether the state of the economy will put the brakes on the housing market remains to be seen, but it will undoubtedly have an effect.

Rising interest rates are playing havoc with the mortgage market. The full force of the problem is yet to be realised when people start moving off fixed rates and enter the new and more expensive mortgage landscape. Buyers securing new lending will have less appetite for high prices and the repayments it requires.

COST OF LIVING CRISIS
Increasing inflation and energy prices means many buyers (coupled with rising borrowing rates) will have little interest in paying top prices. On the flip side, older sellers who are capital rich and cash poor living in large properties may look to downsize sooner to reduce home running costs as well as help out struggling children further down the ladder.
With Liz Truss now installed in Downing Street time will tell how her low tax policies will effect the economy in the medium term.
The war in Ukraine is responsible for driving up energy prices and also has had a destabilising effect on the world economy by driving up food prices.
While many experts predict a slowdown in the housing market, it could be more akin to a stabilisation, with the soaring increases of the last few years reaching something of an equilibrium. Richard Donnell, executive director of research at Zoopla, said in the company's latest index: “The ongoing impact of the pandemic continues to support a desire to move among home buyers. This is a big reason why the market is not slowing as fast as some might expect and demand remains for sensibly-priced homes, especially in more affordable areas.”

The widespread effects of the cost of living crisis have yet to be realised to their fullest extent, but is already being felt by many across the UK. In stark contrast, however, in August Nationwide reported an increase in house prices in its July Index. Robert Gardner, Nationwide's Chief Economist, said: “July saw a modest increase in the rate of annual house price growth. Prices rose by 0.1% monthon-month, after taking account of seasonal effects – the twelfth successive monthly increase. The housing market has retained a surprising degree of momentum given the mounting pressures on household budgets from high inflation, which has already driven consumer confidence to all-time lows. While there are tentative signs of a slowdown in activity, with a dip in the number of mortgage approvals for house purchases in June, this has yet to feed through to price growth.”

ago, on August 1st the Bank of England scrapped the mortgage affordability tests that were first introduced in 2014 as one way to avoid the errors which contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. The Guardian reported in August that the financial policy committee of the central bank said it was scrapping the rule. They report the reasoning for this was that forcing borrowers to stay within a limit of 4.5 times earnings when they apply for a loan was enough of a safeguard. Removing the test may help some potential borrowers get loans, such as the self-employed or freelance workers.

From a new Prime Minister, to the cost of living crisis, war in Ukraine, record-breaking heatwaves, inflation and the everlooming threat of a recession as well as the sad news of the death of the Queen.

Local Studio Gradient Architecture has used a planning rule from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy to help revitalise an unused lot in New York City's Red Hook neighbourhood, which was severely affected by the 2012 storm. This white brick house in Brooklyn is located on a compact lot that could not accommodate a single-family home according to the standard zoning rules applied in the area. After discovering they could develop a property to match the previous building's footprint, this charming three bedroom family home came to life. What Gradient have rebuilt, is a template for sustainable living in any city.

London is the epicentre of the problem. As people returned to the city after leaving during the height of the lockdown, they came back to a hugely competitive market. Many landlords sold up – some through necessity, others because they considered the business no longer viable. Others made a move to capitalise on the ‘race for space’ by selling their rental properties, or they moved to the now lucrative holiday let market. This all means the stock has been drastically

The latest report from LonRes describes the market as the exact opposite of deep lockdown - “a complete reversal in the state of the prime London rental market from last year. In 2021 landlords struggled to let their properties which led to rents falling, the average time to let rising, and growing discounts on asking prices. This year, the opposite is true. The lack of properties available to let means tenants are struggling to find a home and rents are rising rapidly as a result – 28% higher in June than last year and 14% higher than the 2017-19 average.”

For those clients that have been looking to buy, this change of cost can come as a surprise. It could mean a re-assessment of their buying power.

You normally have a 10% overpayment allowance, but if this is not enough, some lenders will allow you to split the loan and have part on one lending rate and part on another. You can also “port” the mortgage to a new property (i.e. take it with you), but the bank will assess your ability to take the loan over based on income/ expenditure rules at the time.
ince last year the SWAP rate for 2-year fixed rates have risen dramatically – from 0.27% to 2.80% (11th Aug 2022). The same is true for longer term rates, with 5-year rates moving from 0.46% to 2.50%. Alongside wider increases in the cost of living and Base Rate rises by the Bank of England, this fast increase has meant that borrowing is now more expensive.
If you are self-employed, you may be worried that the state of the market will mean you won’t be able to secure a loan. It is possible. The issue that banks encountered during the pandemic was the sustainability of income had decreased. As we move forward from the initial shock of lockdown, and as clients’ accounts are showing a “post pandemic” picture, some lenders are starting to look at that year in isolation. This is good news for self-employed borrowers who had to ride out the uncertainty during the pandemic.

WORDS JAMES MUNCASTER Chagnon Financial
Ifproperly.you’rehoping to get a mortgage, there are lots of factors to think about, particularly while the market is unpredictable. For example, you may be weighing up a long term versus short term fixed rate. Whether you go for a 2-year or 5-year fixed rate, it always been based on both price and circumstance. But it may be worth bearing in mind that, unusually, at the moment the 5-year fixed rate costs less.
S
You may be considering whether an interest-only mortgage is option. This will be based on your income and deposit/equity level. You will need a strategy to pay back an interest-only mortgage but, but it can be useful for clients who get some income through bonuses or commissions, or have other investments and savings. For some, interest-only can make for a good cash flow and allows them room

Ultimately, the best advice is that no buyer is the same as another, so make use of a Mortgage Broker and get the right advice.
It may feel harder to get a mortgage now, but the fundamentals of borrowing have not changed. However, banks do have to take into account the increase in interest rates and the overall cost of living. This means that “like for like”, you may find it harder to borrow. In light of this, some banks have increased their Income Multiples, and others have looked to increase how much variable income they can take into account (e.g. going from taking 50% of a bonus to 60%). The key, as always, is to make sure you have your paperwork ready to go, and you can provide the right evidence to secure your loan.

Sell smart – pick your time and price carefully
be smart in how you price your property. The initial temptation might be to overvalue your property. Instead, look at similar properties on the market at the same time as yours, speak to multiple agents and get an average. This is especially true if the market takes a downturn. If it’s still growing, you can think about edging your price up as the market would theoretically follow. But that’s a long game, and won’t work if you’re looking for a quicker sale. As always, the key is to gather as much information as possible so you can make an informed decision.

SELLER’S GUIDE P
Spring, for example, is traditionally a good time of year to sell a property. Winter is over, Summer is still to come, so it's often a time when a lot of movement happens in the market, with more stock, but also more buyers. Data from Rightmove (February 2022) revealed that March is the strongest month of the year for prospective sellers to come to market. March has had the highest number of buyer enquiries per property for sale on average over the last five years (excluding early 2020 when the pandemic shut the market). April is the next strongest month to sell, based on competition between buyers for each available property, followed by May. Summer, particularly August, is traditionally a quiet time of the year. School and family holidays typically take precedence over major life decisions. Autumn is the next busiest time following Spring. Summer is behind us, and the festive season is still a time away. With the attractive possibility of completing before then, many sales tend to move quickly throughout September,
WORDS JOSH WOODFIN Property Journalist
Despite the tumultuous economic climate, the housing market still
maintains some of its traditional rhythms and cycles, albeit at a slightly different frequency to more settled years.
32brik.co.uk
ricing your property is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in the selling process. Your instinct may be to ask for the highest price for your property, but you're also likely to know that you have to price your property to sell. It’s a lot easier to judge this balance when the housing market is chugging along at a steady pace, with clear signposting and examples for how much you should put your home on the market for. But, the guidelines around this are less clear while the property market is turbulent – as it is now. Property prices are still going up (albeit at a slower pace) but so is inflation, interest rates and the cost of living. There are extraordinary factors putting pressure on the market, and it looks like they will continue to do so for some time. This means that thinking about when you sell your property is as important as how much you would like to sell it for.
October and even early November, before slowing right down for the festive period. Typically, enquiries start up again in January, so if you have outside space, get yourself some winter flowering plants so the garden has a bit of life for prospective buyers. It’s unlikely a recession or the cost of living crisis would transform this cycle, but it will change it. First time buyers may struggle to get mortgages, and those looking to upgrade might be hunkering down for an extra 12 months. But there will be movement. It’s important to pay attention to the market and act
