Bank of England cuts base rate from 5.25% to 5%

We are excited by the news that the Bank of England base rates were lowered from 5.25% to 5% on Thursday 1st August 2024.

What does this mean for buying and selling property?

  • If you need a mortgage to purchase a property you may be able to get lower interest rates and a better deal from lenders.
  • As the interest rate is lower, there is more opportunity for First Time Buyers to purchase their first home – First Time Buyers can also benefit from James Legal’s reduced legal fees, contact us today for more information.
  • There will be more options available for purchasers.
  • If you are selling a property you may receive more interest in your property which could mean there is a higher chance of selling it for a good price more quickly.
  • If you are coming to the end of your fixed mortgage term you may be able to remortgage to a better interest rate.
