Buy-to-let mortgage market picks up

The buy-to-let mortgage market is showing signs of recovery after the number of deals nearly halved during the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic.

A total of 1,660 different mortgages are currently available to investment landlords, up from a low of just 1,455 deals at the beginning of May, according to financial information group Moneyfacts.

The choice of mortgages in the sector dived sharply in March and April, dropping from 2,897 products at the beginning of March, as lenders pulled deals while they re-evaluated the market.

In further good news, the average cost of two-year and five-year fixed rate mortgages have also fallen compared with March, to stand at 2.72% and 3.11% respectively, although they have edged up slightly since July.

What’s the background?

Although average mortgage rates for buy-to-let investors have fallen since March, the drop has not been seen across the board.

Landlords looking to borrow 60% of their property’s value face the most significant price hikes, with the average cost of a two-year fixed rate mortgage rising by 0.53% during the period, while five-year fixed rate deals have risen by 0.45%.

The trend is surprising as, although rates for people taking out 60% loan-to-value mortgages remain lower than those for people with smaller deposits, lenders are usually keen to attract borrowers in this segment of the market.

UK house prices fall for fourth consecutive month

The average UK house price was £241,604 in July which represents a decline for the fourth consecutive month, according to the latest House Price Index by Halifax.
Despite the overall fall, a ‘mini-boom’ drove prices up in July to 1.6% higher than in June on a monthly basis. However in the latest quarter, house prices were 0.2% lower than the preceding three months. House prices in July were 3.8% higher than in the same month a year earlier, with the index indicating that uncertainty remains with likely downward pressure on prices in the medium term.
Russell Galley, managing director at Halifax, said: “Following four months of decline, average house prices in July experienced their greatest month on month increase this year, up 1.6% from June and comfortably offsetting losses in 2020. The average house price in July is the highest it has ever been since the Halifax House Price Index began, 3.8% higher than a year ago.
“The latest data adds to the emerging view that the market is experiencing a surprising spike post lockdown. As pent-up demand from the period of lockdown is released into a largely open housing market, a low supply of available homes is helping to exert upwards pressure on house prices. Supported by the government’s initiative of a significant cut in stamp duty, and evidence from households and agents suggesting that confidence is currently growing, the immediate future for the housing market looks brighter than many might have expected three months ago.
“However, looking further ahead, there is still a great deal of uncertainty around the lasting impact of the pandemic. As government support measures come to an end, the resulting impact on the macroeconomic environment, and in turn the housing market, will start to become more apparent.
“In particular, a weakening in labour market conditions would lead us to expect greater downward pressure on prices in the medium-term.”

Mike Scott, chief analyst at Yopa, added: “The Halifax recorded a 1.6% increase in house prices for the month of July, pushing the annual rate of growth up to 3.8%. Following four months of declining prices, this suggests that the stamp duty holiday is having an immediate effect on prices, and so most of the benefit of the holiday is going to sellers rather than buyers.
“However, this surge in prices may not last long, and the market may well turn down again as government schemes to support the economy come to an end and unemployment rises. We expect a slow start to the year in 2021, by which time it will be too late to make an offer on a house and expect to complete the purchase before the end of the stamp duty holiday on 31 March.”

新盤不足半月賣逾千伙

施政報告公布後樓市交投回升,本月首12天全港新盤已速錄千餘宗成交,較十月首半個月僅逾百宗大幅急增約10倍。而路勁地產的元朗錦田北山水盈,本周五將正式開盤,發展商暫錄逾200張入票登記。

該公司銷售及市場推廣總監鍾彩玲表示,項目收票反應理想,截至本周一晚已錄逾200張入票登記,而近期樓市交投顯著上揚,對樓市走勢樂觀。

山水盈引入按揭優惠
業界料項目開售反應理想,中原亞太區副主席兼住宅部總裁陳永傑稱,受惠政府放寬按揭的樓價上限,本月一手銷售反應不佳,估計該盤首批以價單形式推出的67伙可「一Q清枱」。該公司為樓盤引入全期息口低至銀行同業拆息(H)加1.24厘按揭計劃,回贈高達1.5%。買家亦可選擇樓花即供計劃,息口低至最優惠利率(P)減2.5厘。

美聯住宅部行政總裁布少明亦稱,年初至今新盤銷量已達1.79萬伙,較去年全年數字增約14%,料今年最終交投量可超越一七年所錄約1.83萬宗,創出一手新例實施後新高紀錄。

至於本月熱銷新盤之中,暫以佳明集團控股(01271)的青衣明翹匯表現最佳,開盤至今已售出約590伙。據一手銷售資訊網資料,該盤其中3伙成交列為交易再未有進展,包括1座8樓G室,原於月初以462.9萬元售出,而2座25樓B室與F室,則分別以739.4萬及538.5萬元沽出。

另外,據一手銷售資訊網資料,新鴻基地產(00016)的馬鞍山雲海別墅單日再沽3伙,套現逾1.5億元。其中Jasmine Avenue10號別墅成交價5,248.44萬元,創項目新高紀錄,呎價2.44萬元。

新盤戰白熱化 樓市氣氛向好

樓市利好因素接踵而來,繼施政報告公布放寬按保樓價上限後,本港大型銀行11年來首度跟隨美聯儲局減息,加上中美貿易戰現轉機,令大市氣氛持續升溫,新盤市場百花齊放,市場估計11月將有逾4400伙新盤單位有機會推售,料不少新盤將採用貼市價策略,勢將鎖緊市場購買力,二手市場短期難免受壓,成交速度或會放緩。

回顧施政報告公布前市場觀望氣氛濃厚,公布放寬按揭後樓市明顯升溫,發展商重拾推盤步伐,銷情熾熱。根據本行資料研究部綜合一手住宅物業銷售資訊網資料顯示,不包括村屋物業以及部份特殊個案等下,10月中施政報告公布至今超過3星期,以10月16日至11月6日的22日計算,新盤單位(包括全新盤及貨尾)共售出約1,824伙,比起公布前的22日(以9月24日至10月15日計算)的616伙,高出約196%。

值得留意的是,根據本行資料研究部綜合地政總署資料顯示,今年首10個月合計共有25個項目已獲批預售樓花同意書,涉及單位合共11,793伙,而當中已推出市場的項目有18個,涉及單位逾9,500伙,以單位計即逾80%。而10月有3個新申請預售樓花同書,共涉998伙。

本月有多個新盤項目陸續推出搶客,亦有新盤餘貨新增優惠吸客,新盤戰進入白熱化階段,爭取於空置稅實施前推盤,不少開價克制,力吸市場客源。近日新盤市場集中於新界區,早前元朗錦田新盤以較同區二手市價低開逾1成登場,首輪銷售單位即日沽清,成為逾4個月以來首輪售出最多單位新盤,可見市場承接力佳。

二手方面,據土地註冊處資料顯示,二手住宅註冊量由9月錄2,235宗增加約26.6%,至10月錄2,830宗,終止連跌5個月的頹勢。鑑於土地註冊處註冊登記需時,10月註冊個案主要反映前一個月市況。10月中施政報告出台後,二手交投提速,不過近日受制於一手以低價搶客,而二手業主放盤態度強硬,部分買家轉投一手,加上二手筍盤盤源逐漸被消化,導致近日二手交投有放慢跡象,不過整體大市氣氛活躍,相信第四季樓市表現不俗。

【首置按揭】按保申請急升 近半借9成
銀行加快審批 壓測仍嚴謹

政府放寬按保後,樓市交投上升,按揭保險申請增加。據按揭代理資料,新按保申請中新造按揭佔97%;而申請9成按保佔整體按保數字近半,千萬元以下物業買家受惠。

10月16日公布的施政報告,將按揭保險9成按揭的樓價上限,由400萬元放寬至800萬元;而8成按揭樓價上限則由600萬元門檻,放寬至1,000萬元。而措施修訂至今近1個月,樓市交投增,推動按揭保險申請上升。

寬按保後 申請按月飈1.6倍

根據中原按揭提供資料,客戶申請按保宗數,較房策修訂前按月同期增1.63倍,按保佔全數申請由32%增至52%,按月升20個百分點,而申請9成按保有47%。

若以受惠新按保的按揭數據來看,該公司近月收到的9成按揭申請裏,首置買家應用新按保範圍(即樓價401萬至800萬元)比例高達99.5%,意味期內沿用舊按保(400萬元以下物業)僅0.5%,反映現時整體市場上低於400萬元成交的物業交投甚少。而申請8成按揭,涉新按保個案(即樓價為601萬至1,000萬元物業)則為70%。

然而,申請最高8成及9成的新按保,佔期內按保申請總數高約84%,當中新造按揭比例高達97%,轉按只約3%。可見措施放寬後,以購買樓價401萬至1,000萬元一手及二手現樓的買家最為受惠。

綜合按揭代理資料,銀行現時就新按保已有清晰指引,審批進度明顯加快,而全數申請必須進行壓力測試。據了解,若申請人屬優質客,申請文件齊備下,最快1星期可以批出。一般新按保可於1個月內獲得批出,集中明年初完成交易。

中原按揭董事總經理王美鳳表示,銀行陸續批出新按保,絕大部分也可通過銀行加3厘壓測,不過,近期亦有小量未通過壓測仍獲批的個案,其供款比率稍高至62%至63%,而全數均可滿足供款佔入息低於一半的規限。(節錄)
