Rates could rise significantly in the coming years. The average mortgage rate currently sits at 2pc, according to the OBR, but is forecast to have increased to 2.2pc by the end of next year and 2.4pc towards the end of 2023.

Have you seen the recent news about house prices in the UK ?! Despite the continuing impact of Covid, house prices in all parts of the UK have continued to increase at pace. The average cost of a home now stands at a whopping £338, 447 !!

There are huge regional variations mind you, with a swing of nearly £500k between the North East and London. The reasons for the increase are many and complicated but the lack of homes for sale across the market has not helped matters. Combined with the stamp duty changes implemented by the Government, house prices have risen by nearly 7% in the first six months of 2021.

Maybe its time to rethink that move and look at how you could improve your current home instead ? Add that extension, convert that loft or just generally modernising your surroundings.

If you think this sounds like a plan, give us a call and we will see what we can to help you realise your dreams.
