What’s happening to the mortgage market? 🏡📉

The mortgage market is facing uncertainty due to ongoing developments in the Middle East 🌍.

Affordability challenges had been easing slightly in recent months - mortgage rates were slowly coming down due to cuts to Bank Rate by the Bank of England. In January 2026, the average monthly mortgage payment was 7% lower than the previous year 📊.

However, the recent outbreak of war involving Iran has made the short-term outlook much more uncertain ⚠️.

At the start of March, 472 residential mortgage products were taken off the market within a 48-hour period, in response to rising swap rates 📉. This trend continued throughout the month, with a fifth of overall mortgage deals removed from the market by 21 March.

First-time buyers have been hit particularly badly – they may notice that rates are higher on low-deposit deals 🏠.

Adam French at Moneyfacts commented, “It’s unwelcome news for borrowers, as the prospect of falling mortgage rates has quickly given way to rate rises. How far they could go is now heavily dependent on how global markets and inflation expectations evolve as conflict in the Middle East unfolds.”

Make protection a priority.

A survey has revealed that homeowners are more likely to plan a new kitchen than seek out protection.

Research found that respondents were more likely to spend money on new furniture (36%), redecorating (26%) or installing a new bathroom or kitchen (25%) than on taking out protection insurance, with only 15% saying it was a priority. However, many mortgage holders expressed concern about their financial security, with 62% saying they are worried they could lose their home if they became too ill to work. More than half (56%) admitted they would struggle to keep up with mortgage repayments after six months without an income.

The Foundation She Built - In Life and In My Business.

Lately I’ve been a little quite on social media.

It is because recently we lost our BIBI (grandmother to my kids).

There’s no easy way to write that sentence. And there’s no business training that prepares you for the emotional weight that follows.

Grief has a way of slowing everything down, yet when you’re self-employed, especially as a mortgage broker, the world doesn’t stop.

My mother was honest.
She was respectful.
And above all, she was trustworthy.

She believed that your word should mean something.

The values my mother lived by are the same values I try to bring into every client conversation.

As I slowly get back into the swing of things I will carry her values she taught me forever.

Catch you all soon x
