We don’t seem to be having an autumn boom as some had forecasted in real estate but there is definitely a reasonable market for those looking to move. A lot of attractive properties are being put up for sale giving buyers a wide range to choose from.

There is also good news with the latest survey indicating a slight rise in prices. It has also been confirmed that first time buyers have returned to the market in force with 24% of sales so far this year.

The Bank of England may have held interest rates this month, but mortgage rates continue to fall. With lenders realising rates must fall in the medium to long term, two-year fixed rates have followed five-year fixed and are now below 4%.
