STAMP DUTY SLUMP REBOUNDS: SUMMER SPARKS A COMEBACK
This year has been an interesting one for the property market, particularly in North and North-West London. It started very positively and the increases to Stamp Duty on the 1st April led to a frenzy of activity before the deadline, especially for first time buyers. However, that was inevitably followed by a subsequent lull and some chains sadly fell through due to many first-time buyers being forced to withdraw in the following months.
That said, the housing market has remained strong and prices returned to growth nationally in July, increasing by 0.6% to £272,664 according to figures published by Nationwide. Rightmove’s figures for July showed a decade-high level of houses for sale across the country. However, this national trend is not being reflected in our corner of London, where there has been a reduction in the number of properties on the market. This bodes well for house prices in the local area, which are set to continue rising.
Transactions and activity will no doubt see a boost thanks to the Bank of England’s decision to cut interest rates again in August, taking them down to 4% for the first time since February 2023. As a result, the average two-year mortgage rate offered by high street lenders has dipped below 5% for the first time since September 2022, significantly easing housing affordability for buyers. The medium-term outlook for interest rates continues to be downward, though the rate of decreases is slowing.
We may see another rate cut to 3.75% this year but this is not a certainty and will be contingent on inflation levels, and the wider economic picture, in the autumn.
For buyers, there is now no reason to hold off any longer.
Mortgage rates are at their best level in recent times and they’re unlikely to fall further in the near future. Now is the time to act and secure your new home.
The view from the ground
The latest drop in interest rates is bound to bring more buyers into the market, adding upwards pressure to house prices and increasing transactions. However, the effects of these changes take a few months before they are felt. The current view from the ground shows a market that has shifted slightly in favour of buyers due to the recent Stamp Duty changes and growing concerns about Labour’s handling of the economy.
This has led to the market becoming more price sensitive. Properties are still selling quickly but only when they are priced correctly. We appreciate that people prize their homes and tend to value them highly. However, we’ve noticed that this has led to a recurring trend of sellers listing at their preferred price, which is above the market rate and then receiving little to no interest. After some weeks they adjust the price down to the correct value, viewings then increase dramatically and the house is snapped up shortly after. It’s worth considering that sometimes a property being listed at the right price in the first instance will receive more buyer interest - and may well receive a higher offer - than if it had been put on the market at more than it’s worth.
For buyers in North and North-West London, you should take heed of the fact that there is less housing stock available than there is in other locations. This leads to prices hardening and you should act swiftly now while the market is still perceived to be with you.
Preparing for the Renters’ Rights Bill
Although the Renters’ Rights Bill has been delayed, its arrival is inevitable. Rental costs have surged in recent years, with average monthly rents in London increasing by over 40% since the pandemic. Unfortunately, the additional costs placed on landlords by the Bill is likely to see rents continue to climb. This puts real pressure on struggling renters, and we’re keenly aware of the challenges ahead.
With landlords already leaving the market in droves due to tax increases and increased regulatory burdens, there’s
concern that the Bill will add further fuel to the fire. The result is fewer rental properties available to an increasing number of tenants, pushing rents even higher, Sadly, the underlying market dynamics mean that we risk a repeat of the 2022 rental crisis, when demand far outstripped available homes.
For those looking to let out a property, we understand that the upcoming changes in the Renters’ Rights Bills are complicated and worrying. Our team has the expertise to help you understand what you need to manage them, mitigate risks and remain compliant. We’re here to help ensure your investment is protected and working for you.
Our advice to renters is not to wait on uncertainty. Act now and secure your home at current rental prices.
We’re here to help guide you through the process and find the right home to suit your needs.
Prepare for a lively autumn
The housing market is seasonal, and the summer tends to see a slight drop in activity as people hold off on making
life changing decisions until after the summer holidays. With mortgage rates falling and the post-stamp duty lull in transactions coming to an end, the autumn is primed to see activity surge again.
For buyers, we would advise you to act now while the market is with you because the winds are likely to change very soon. For sellers, we would advise you to price carefully and ensure you list at the right level. Our team is here to help you secure the best price for your home and we know the housing market in our area better than anyone else. Despite some national headwinds and the fallout of the Stamp Duty changes, our team have continued to deliver exceptional results across the board for our clients. This is a true testament to our people, market knowledge, and perhaps the reason why we were named The Best Estate Agents in the UK by The Negotiator this year.

HELP KIDS START THE YEAR FED AND READY
As September rolls around, new pencil cases and shiny shoes fill shop windows. But for thousands of families in London, this time of year isn’t about getting kitted out, it’s about impossible choices.
Do they buy new school shoes, or stock the fridge? Do they patch up a broken backpack for another term, or pay for dinner?
This is the back-to-school reality for many of the families which Food Bank Aid support. When household budgets are stretched thin, basics like fresh fruit, milk, pasta, and laundry powder become luxuries. And while September should mark a fresh start for children, too many will be starting school tired, anxious, and hungry.
MARTYN GERRARD IS PROUD TO BE A LONGSTANDING SUPPORTER OF NOAH’S ARK CHILDREN’S HOSPICE.
Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, based in Barnet, helps babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, to make the most of every day. And for those that do die young, they do all they can to bring comfort to their last moments.
An incredible milestone
But this is where you come in. Food Bank Aid supports 33 food banks across North London and Hertfordshire, helping over 20,000 people each week - 5,000 of whom are children. With your help, we can ease the burden on families who are just trying to give their kids the best start to the school year.
Your support helps fill more than just cupboards. It helps fill lunchboxes. It helps children focus in class because they’re not distracted by hunger. It helps parents breathe a little easier knowing they can send their child back to school with dignity.
“We were delighted to welcome Simon Gerrard and the team to The Ark recently to celebrate an incredible milestone of £100,000 donated to the charity. But their contributions don’t stop there, with over £3,000,000 received as a result of Simon & Martyn Gerrard’s involvement! This partnership is truly holistic, and Martyn Gerrard’s support and advice has gone far beyond just money. It was such a joy to take this opportunity to say thank you and reflect on what is such a vital partnership for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, and for the children and families we support.”

FROM THAT MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGES, NOAH’S ARK IS THERE
Across North London, right here in your local community, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice is there from the moment families receive a life-changing diagnosis – providing expert care and whole family support.
Meet Roscoe, Gina, Arthur and Ray. Roscoe and Gina are parents to 13-year-old twins, Arthur and Ray. Ray has cerebral palsy and very complex needs – he uses a wheelchair, a feeding tube, and requires round-theclock care.
“Being introduced to Noah’s Ark was like finding someone who knew what you’re going through. We didn’t feel alone anymore.”
Noah’s Ark has been a lifeline for their whole family. From in-home visits to overnight stays at The Ark. For Roscoe, one of the most powerful moments was simply being able to rest, knowing Ray was safe and cared for, while he had quality time with Arthur.
“For the first time in forever, we got to relax at home, knowing Ray was safe and cared for. That kind of pressure relief – it’s priceless...”
This autumn, every donation made to our
That Moment,
conditions and their families.
Noah’s Ark also supports siblings like Arthur with dedicated weekends away, and offers spaces for parents like Roscoe and Gina to connect with other families, talk and feel understood.
