Good afternoon,

The latest Bank of England announcement brings exciting news for property buyers in London. The base rate has been cut to 4.50% - the lowest in over 18 months - signaling a potentially transformative moment for the property market.

What This Means for You:
Major lenders like Barclays, HSBC, Halifax, Coventry Building Society, and Clydesdale Bank have already responded by decreasing mortgage rates. This creates a window of opportunity for potential buyers, especially with the upcoming Stamp Duty deadline on March 31st, 2025.

Summer viewings bring out the best in properties—but they also heighten buyer expectations. Find out what stands out most to viewers during the warmer months and how you can make your home shine when it matters most.

If your home has been on the market for a little while and interest seems to be dipping — fewer viewings, radio silence from your agent, or just a general sense that things aren’t moving — it can feel frustrating, even disheartening. Especially if everything started with high hopes and a big, bold valuation.
