UK Half year report 2023
Overview
Key Points to mention
Property Price drop in the last six months to adjust higher mortgage rates & rise of living costs
In the last 6 months there has been a drop of 1.3% of Zoopla price index, this is mainly due to the increased mortgage rates. However, demand has recovered recently reducing the decline.
The annual rate of price inflation is 1.9%, down from 9.6% a year ago.
We would expect prices to remain relatively similar for the rest of the year, with mortgage rates stabilising and demand showing promise. However, with the higher-than expected inflation rise, it is likely interest rates may rise, if they do this will of course have a knock-on effect to mortgages, then onto property prices.

Have you ever considered why can you rent at a higher price of a mortgage?
However, you have not been able to borrow a lesser mortgage amount! Well Skipton Building Society have released a product exactly for those renters, 100% mortgage. This is the first non-deposit mortgage option since the crash in 2008.
We think this could be a fantastic opportunity for renters who later on want to buy, however it’s important to understand the potential risks when taking 100% mortgages out. There is a reason they were stopped! Let’s go through it…
- This product is only available those first-time buyers who have paid their rent in full and on time for at least 12 months
- It’s a five-year fixed mortgage and works just as other mortgage deals on fixed term basis, the only difference is you don’t need a deposit for Skipton’s
- It is portable, should you wish to move home during the fixed period
