Following the successful launch of IFA Magazine’s Friday Focus campaign over the past few weeks, this week we turn our attention to one of the most closely watched areas of the economy – the UK mortgage and property markets.
After months of gradual easing, the latest Moneyfacts UK Treasury Report has revealed that average two- and five-year fixed mortgage rates have risen for the first time in eight months.
This small yet significant uptick marks a shift in tone for borrowers, advisers, and lenders alike, and raises important questions about where the market may head next. As part of our ongoing Friday Focus series, we’ve reached out to industry experts, mortgage advisers, and property professionals to gather their reactions to this latest mortgage data, their insights on what’s driving market sentiment and where they see mortgage rates heading in the weeks and months ahead.
Throughout today, we’ll be sharing insights, perspectives, and commentary from some of the property industry’s most trusted names and organisations. These will help readers make sense of the latest movements in the mortgage market, and what they mean for clients and the wider financial advice community. You can find all the news and views in relation to this special focus on what’s next for mortgage rates in this section of our website.
Stay tuned across the Mortgage and Property section of our website and social channels today as we publish fresh perspectives from across the industry on that all important outlook for rates as we head towards the end of the year – and THAT budget next month too of course.
Check out all of the latest on our Mortgage & Property Investment Magazine LinkedIn account and @IFAMMortgage X (previously Twitter) account.
