Zoopla’s House Price Index Report: Mortgages and House Price Growth

The latest Zoopla House Price Index reveals a notable resurgence in UK housing market activity, supported by the lowest mortgage rates seen in over a year. With fixed mortgage rates now at their lowest in 15 months, buyer demand has surged, leading to a 25% increase in sales agreements compared to this time last year.

Today’s fixed mortgage rates have already priced in that financial markets expect UK interest rates to decrease over the next 2-5 years, which is further supporting buyer interest and market stability. This is good news for prospective homeowners, as many lenders are offering more competitive rates in anticipation of future interest rate cuts, allowing for a steady increase in market activity. You therefore don’t need to wait until the next Bank of England base rate review.

Looking forward, Zoopla predicts continued moderate price growth across the UK, driven by both increased buyer interest and a stabilising lending environment. This outlook suggests that the housing market will remain resilient, with a steady but measured pace of growth expected through the remainder of the year
