Show Notes
In this episode, Rob once again sits down with Marc Champ of Wharf Financials to discuss a couple of recent changes that will have a significant impact on the UK property market. Including, The Bank of England´s plan to scrap the mortgage affordability test.
As well as the story that house prices have defied expectation and hit record highs.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Marc´s customers, who are mainly buying in the North of the UK, have not really reacted to the scraping of the mortgage affordability test.
- The lifting of the restriction does free things up for first-time buyers.
- Inflation, particularly the rising price of materials, means the profit margin needs to be high enough to absorb those potential extra costs.
- The supply of properties is set to increase. Marc explains why.
- Remember change creates opportunity. Some of which are discussed in the podcast.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We´ve not seen customers benefit from it or have any issues because I think the lenders were already acting responsibly.’
‘If you only have a skinny profit, think about it very carefully. Prices will go up.’
‘A downturn in the market creates more opportunities.’
‘We have seen a lot of refinancing.’
