☆ UK home-buyer demand inches up as mortgage rates fall: Zoopla
  + stars: | 2023-09-27 | by ( David Milliken | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
REUTERS/Phil Noble/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - More Britons made enquiries with estate agents about potential house purchases over the past four weeks as mortgage rates started to fall, breaking a downward trend which has been in place since April, property website Zoopla said on Thursday. "Better news on inflation and the end of base rate increases has provided scope for lenders to start reducing mortgage rates which has supported a modest uptick in demand for homes," Zoopla's executive director, Richard Donnell, said. Weekly mortgage data collated by property website Rightmove showed the average interest rate for a mortgage with a two-year fixed rate fell from an average of 6.41% in August to 6.07% this week. This still represents a sharp increase from 4.60% a year ago, when mortgage rates had already begun to climb after bond markets baulked at the then-Prime Minister Liz Truss' budget plans as well as BoE tightening. Mortgage lender Halifax said house prices in August were 4.6% lower than a year earlier, the sharpest drop in 14 years.

  + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( David Milliken | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
REUTERS/Toby Melville/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The number of house purchases in Britain this year is on course to drop by 21% to its lowest since 2012 as a result of rising borrowing costs, property website Zoopla forecast on Wednesday. "While UK house prices are 0.1% higher over the year, it is the number of sales that have been hit hardest by higher borrowing costs, especially amongst mortgage-reliant buyers," Zoopla's executive director, Richard Donnell, said. Zoopla forecast that house purchases funded by mortgages would drop 28% this year, while cash buyers would fall just 1% and account for more than a third of sales. The most recent official data showed that there were 22% fewer house purchases in the three months to the end of June than a year earlier. Zoopla provides property valuations and also advertises more than 1 million properties for sale or to rent.

Asking and agreed rents continued to outpace incomes with tenants spending 28.3% of their pre-tax earnings on rent last month, above the 10-year average of 27%, Zoopla said. May's figures marked the 19th month in a row that rental price growth outstripped incomes. He expected affordability strains to slow the pace of rental growth in 2024. Inflation data for May is due to be published on Wednesday. Zoopla said 53% of renters it surveyed reported a rent rise in the six months to May, up from 35% six months earlier.

☆ Demand for rural homes in Britain drops as pandemic effect fades, report says
  + stars: | 2022-12-22 | by ( Hannah Ward-Glenton | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Demand for rural homes in Britain dropped as the pandemic trend of relocating to the countryside faded, according to real estate website Zoopla. In the wider Lake District national park area, demand dipped 5% compared to the same period, and in mid-Wales it fell 10%. In April 2020, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, 46.6% of people in employment did some work from home, according to the Office for National Statistics. The U.K. mortgage market fell into crisis in September following drastic policy shifts by then-Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng. Some market watchers are now predicting a major downturn in the U.K. property market as a result of the country's weakened economy and sticky high inflation rate.
☆ UK property demand slides 44% after market-rocking mini-budget, study shows
  + stars: | 2022-11-28 | by ( Jenni Reid | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
In the wake of the budget, a record number of mortgage deals were pulled and many lenders paused offerings as they assessed the volatility. Buyer demand fell 44% year-on-year in the four weeks to Nov. 20, according to property website Zoopla, while new property sales declined 28%. Although a fall in house prices is widely predicted, the company's predictions are less bearish than others. It puts U.K. house price growth at 7.8% year-on-year. We do not see any evidence of forced sales or the need for a large, double digit reset in U.K. house prices in 2023," its report said.

[1/2] Property estate agent sales and letting signs are seen outside an apartment building in Lichfield, Britain, May 3, 2022. REUTERS/Andrew Boyers/File PhotoLONDON, Nov 28 (Reuters) - British property market activity stalled in October and house price growth slowed to its lowest quarterly level since February 2020 due to a disastrous "mini-budget" and a cost-of-living crisis, a survey released on Monday showed. In annual terms, house price inflation slowed to 7.8%, with quarterly growth at 0.7%, the lowest rate since February 2020. Zoopla predicts British house price growth to head towards 0% and possibly enter negative territory next year. A separate survey published on Friday showed property demand has shifted from buying to renting amid financial uncertainty.
