IN A FAST MOVING MARKET, DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND Since lockdown restrictions have been eased, we’ve been inundated with valuation requests, new instructions and buyers that are looking to make their move. The Bank of England base rate is the lowest it’s ever been, and we’ve found this has helped the housing market stay on track. If you’re considering selling your property, one of our top tips is to have a buyer lined up. We offer free valuations, and could secure you a buyer ready to purchase your property once you’ve found the home of your dreams.

KERRY PHILLIPS Director 01534 707914 07797 825122 kerry@thompsonestates.com

Don’t miss out on properties by making sure you are registered with us. Some properties are selling before they even hit our website and with the market moving so quickly, it’s important you tell us what you are looking for. If you are interested in selling your property, or would like to discuss your requirements, please give Kerry or James a call.

RES007


07/2020

The property market would appear to be buoyant, and whilst it might be possible in certain cases, to negotiate a small reduction in the asking price, there is no sign of the forecast reductions of 10% which had been suggested at the start of the lockdown. The true test will be when Jersey fully opens for business again and the impact that this might have on reintroducing Covid-19 to the resident population – we appear to have survived the first wave, but will the Island get away so easily a second time around in respect of the economy and the housing market that depends on it?

The Best Rates... Whilst Jersey is served by only a small number of mortgage providers, we are fortunate that they offer competitive interest rates linked to underwriting criteria to match the requirements of most borrowers. It is likely that the current lenders will be joined by a major player later in the year and this should help to boost competition even further, as well as hopefully extending the range of facilities that are available to borrowers.

BASE RATE CUTS HERE TO STAY? Described as being a temporary measure, recent Bank of England Base Rate cuts could at some time in the future be reversed, although some economists are suggesting that rates will have to remain low for the next five years. It is small wonder therefore that existing borrowers as well as house buyers are somewhat confused as to the mortgage product that they should choose to give them best value and also the greatest security. For existing borrowers who have fixed rate products coming up for review, and who plan to remain in their existing home for the next few years, then the best advice is to lock into a five year fixed rate – given any further reduction to Base Rate would only have a nominal impact on fixed rates. The Mortgage Shop is able to help determine whether the current provider is the best choice, or if savings could be made by re-mortgaging elsewhere. If buying a property for the first time or trading up, then the same advice will apply – the fixed rates that are currently on offer are incredible value, so make the most of them while they are available. Whilst tracker rates are even lower, they are usually available for a maximum term of either two or three years and best for those who can afford to absorb any rate increases, should they occur.

A CHOICE OF COMPETITIVE LENDERS Whilst Jersey is served by only a small number of mortgage providers, we are fortunate that they offer competitive interest rates linked to underwriting criteria to match the requirements of most borrowers. It is likely that the current lenders will be joined by a major player later in the year and this should help to boost competition even further, as well as hopefully extending the range of facilities that are available to borrowers. In these changing times, The Mortgage Shop will continue to interpret and analyse the full range of mortgage products that are available from all lenders, so ensuring that buyers and borrowers have access to the latest information, allowing them to make the most informed choice.

Our team is now back in our Broad Street offices, and able to process all enquiries and applications remotely so ensuring the safety of clients and staff. We can be contacted on 789830 or on info@mortgageshop.je
