Cheaper Mortgage and Competitive Asking Rates Can Get Profitable Deals In UK
Cheaper Mortgage
Low-interest rates on a mortgage for first-time buyers can provide an opportunity to gain profitable deals in the current buyers' market. In addition, if suitably invested, the monthly mortgage repayment can be lower than the monthly rent.
The average interest rate on two years fixed mortgage is around 2.5 per cent, and the average interest on 5- a year fixed mortgage is up to 2.91 per cent. First-time buyers can invest through supporting government schemes such as help-to-buy loans, lifetime Isas, help-to-buy Isas etc. Brexit or no Brexit, in both conditions, first-time buyers can gain from buying property at a lower asking price.
Comparing House Price in Capital to Other Areas
The ONS and Land registry data find the average price of homes in London grew 80 per cent in a decade from £266,999 to £473,609(Oct 2008 to Oct 2018), while the price in North East grew 3.2 per cent from £124,448 to £128,488.
Annual transactions in London fell significantly in the last year to 3703 in some of the prime central locations. Unrestrained growth in house prices has been a reason for the decline in the capital city, while many other regions continue to report growth.
Brexit is one of the key factors where economic uncertainty led to the decline in national growth from 8.2 per cent to 2.7 per cent. The capital city also faces an affordability issue where the average house price is 16 times more than the average salary.
Land registry data show average London house cost is close to £650,000, whereas the new build homes are 15 to 20 per cent higher than the market values.
