Latest News

The UK property market is one of the most dynamic and ever-evolving industries in the world, with constantly changing trends that impact everything from mortgages to rental prices. In recent years, estate agents and letting agents have become increasingly important players in this sector as they help people buy or rent properties. However, the industry has faced challenges due to changes in tax laws and Brexit-related uncertainty. Nevertheless, landlords are still buying homes for rent amid a surge in demand for rental properties across all regions of the country. As a result, mortgage lenders have been offering attractive rates to entice buyers back into the market while also expanding their offerings for first-time buyers who may be struggling to get on the housing ladder due to high deposit requirements. Overall, these developments continue to shape how estate agents and letting agents operate within this exciting industry.
