5FF Short Cut: The Unexpected Budget Win for the Housing Market
This is an edit of Friday's livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSYwoCzscnA Sources for every fact: https://mhwc.co.uk/blog/5-fact-friday-30th-october-2026/ Five facts from the week's ...
1. The Chancellor has confirmed the details of Your First Home, including price ...caps that make it mostly only viable in the North. Negative equity is inbound for most first-time buyers who take it: after five years on a 30-year mortgage you've only paid off about 8% of the loan, not enough to offset the 10 to 15% negative equity you're in from day one. Developers face fees of up to 4%, which will just go into the prices. It's really a scheme to help housebuilders.
2. Zoopla shows UK house price inflation at just 0.8%, and 35% of homes are now in areas with annual price falls. There are 7% more homes for sale but sales agreed are down 7%: more choice for buyers, more competition for sellers. If you don't bring your asking price down to the market, you ain't selling.
3. Even the OBR now expects house price growth and transactions to slide, the first time I've seen them say house price growth is set to slide.
4. The Bank of England reports September mortgage approvals were even worse than August on a seasonally adjusted basis, very low for the time of year, against a long-term average of 66,000 a month. Lenders have stopped pricing mortgages below base rate, and that's made affordability much worse.
5. The OBR says housing delivery will fall to 229,000 this year and keep falling for the next three years, and the 1.5 million homes target has quietly been dropped.
Bonus: the silver lining of the Budget no one has mentioned. Transactions trump prices, and the thing that has killed transactions this year is uncertainty around mortgage rates. With an experienced, stable hand as Chancellor, the markets have calmed. It's grim, but we know where we stand, and I think we could see an uptick in transactions, maybe even in November and December.
