Bank Of England Interest Rate Update

Property Magic Podcast - A podcast by Simon Zutshi - Tuesdays

Categories:

Simon delves into the impact of interest rates on property investing, beginning with the recent decision by the Bank of England to maintain the base rate at 5.25% amidst falling inflation rates. He emphasises the current buyer's market, highlighting opportunities for investors to negotiate favourable purchase prices. Additionally, insights are shared on potential future interest rate reductions and their implications on the property market.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Interest rates have remained high at 5.25%, impacting property investors looking to refinance or buy new properties. The current market is a buyer's market, with more sellers than buyers, presenting an opportunity for investors to negotiate good purchase prices. Advanced property investment strategies like HMOs and service accommodation can still be profitable despite high interest rates. Predictions suggest interest rates may decrease in 2024, potentially leading to a property market recovery by 2025. Landlords may be looking to sell properties in the next six months due to changes in capital gains tax rates, potentially leading to a dip in property prices in 2024. BEST MOMENTS "I think many people are wondering when we're going to see interest rates come down... Some people think we might get a drop in interest rate as soon as May or June." "I believe you should be investing all the time, not worrying about short term fluctuations... as long as the property stacks up and makes money for you." "I think it's such a great time to be investing... I'm going to be buying probably more property in the next 24 months than I probably have in the last decade." "I predict that the beginning of 2025, we're going to see the property market start to really recover... I think we're going to see reductions before that because these high interest rates are struggling or restricting the economy recovery." "Remember, only do really good property deals... have courage, get out there, find some great deals."
