๐ก July 2025 Housing Market Update | Mortgage Republic Ltd
The summer property market is in full swing, and July has brought a mixed bag of opportunity and caution for buyers, sellers, and homeowners alike.
Here's a quick snapshot of whatโs happening right now:
๐ Mortgage Rates Holding Steady (For Now)
Following several months of volatility, mortgage rates have shown signs of stabilising. Most high street lenders are now offering deals significantly cheaper than a year ago. While not at historic lows, this is welcome news for buyers whoโve been holding off for calmer waters.
๐๏ธ House Prices: A Level Playing Field Emerging
According to the latest data from Nationwide and Rightmove, average UK house prices in July are up just 0.3% month-on-month, but down 1.2% year-on-year. Sellers are having to be more realistic with pricing, and buyers are gaining a bit more negotiation power.
๐ฆ Increased Activity in the Family Homes Market
Weโre seeing a noticeable pickup in movement among upsizers, especially families looking for more space before the new school year. Detached and semi-detached homes remain in demand, particularly in well-connected towns and suburbs.
๐ ๏ธ Remortgage Alert: Many Fixed Deals Ending Soon
A wave of fixed-rate mortgages are set to expire this summer and autumn. If your deal ends before January 2026, now is the time to get prepared. Lenders are offering product transfers and remortgages up to 6 months in advance โ donโt wait for a surprise on your monthly payments.
