What is the Property Market Forecast for 2022?

October 2021 saw the end of stamp duty holiday rates and an expected downturn in the number of properties for sale. However, the last two months of the year are traditionally quiet for property purchases, and the current forecast is that there will be plenty of property market action in 2022.

First time buyers are predicted to have access to better rates and rising inflation may encourage some people to sell. Recent years have seen significant changes to life in the UK and hybrid working models are seeing some people seek new homes that match their new lifestyle while others are looking for mortgages to help pay for home  improvements.

Work out the true cost of buying

So, you have your deposit saved and you’re ready to buy your first home? Well, it’s not as simple as getting a mortgage, picking up the keys and moving in. Before you go any further, work out the true cost of buying to make sure you’re fully prepared.

Fees: There are a number of fees in arranging a mortgage – from arrangement fees, valuation fees, legal fees and, of course, stamp duty and surveys. It can appear a little daunting at first, so your best bet is to seek the advice of a mortgage broker who can help you understand the various costs associated with buying a home.

Of course, there are other moving fees to consider too such as a removal van, any installation costs and whatever furniture and appliances you will need as you move onto the next chapter in your life.

Don’t let that put you off. Buying your first home is exciting and gets you on the property ladder. But it’s wise to consider all the costs beforehand to ensure you can afford your new life. And one of the most important factors is getting the best mortgage deal.

Don’t leave things to chance. Contact a mortgage advisor who can help calculate your mortgage affordability and find the best deal for your circumstances.

What Does A Mortgage Broker Do?

Taking out your first mortgage can be quite daunting. It’s a long-term financial commitment and it’s understandable that you have questions about what a mortgage is and how they work.

Put simply, a mortgage is a loan to buy a property. Usually, you will need to put down a deposit on your new home, and you will borrow the rest of the money needed to purchase it from a mortgage lender.

The best way to take out a mortgage is to visit a mortgage broker. Brokers are not linked to one lender so will be able to look at a wide range of rates that match your circumstances. Sometimes, there are also special rates that are only available through mortgage brokers. Your mortgage broker will check that you are eligible and carry out an affordability check.

After helping you decide on the best mortgage for your circumstances, your advisor will then help you through to the completion of the deal.

UK Mortgage Rate War Hots Up

If you’ve been assessing your mortgage affordability, now is the time to take the plunge and visit a mortgage broker. As lenders fight for business, UK mortgage rates have dropped below 1%. Borrowers with large deposits are now able to enjoy mortgage rates as low as 0.94%.

With so much competition between mortgage lenders, and banks across the UK looking at deals to offer remortgage clients, first-time buyers and those moving home; experts are advising anybody looking for the best mortgage rates for their circumstances to speak to a mortgage advisor.

Current rates are among the lowest ever offered but each mortgage deal comes with its own specific requirements so trying to decipher the best mortgage rate as an individual can be tricky. A mortgage advisor has a deep understanding of the market and will be able to offer the best options for your current borrowing requirements and future plans. It’s worth noting, too, that many lenders have special rates that are exclusive to borrowers introduced by a mortgage advisor like Mortgage Maker.

Mortgage broker Bath

At Mortgage Maker we have expert knowledge of the mortgage business and the property market in Bath and the surrounding areas. For mortgage advisor Bath, mortgagebroker Bristol, or to talk to us about your first or next mortgage, get in touch today. One phone call could help establish your mortgage affordability and save you £000s of pounds and leave with enough to really make your house your home.
