5FF Short Cut: 41% of sellers slash prices, chase the market down. Are they too late?
This is an edit of Friday's livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKPnBiqJ5LE Sources for every fact: https://mhwc.co.uk/blog/5-fact-friday-23rd-october-2026/ Five facts from the week's ...
1. Inflation is up. CPI came in at 3.5% for September, higher than ...forecast, and real inflation for real people is more like 4.5%. That cuts the chances of the Bank of England bringing rates down, and Bloomberg's John Stepek says a November rate rise is as good as nailed on. That's only going to make moving harder for everyone.
2. The government is borrowing far beyond its own forecasts, a record for September apart from Covid, and total debt is now past £3 trillion. Tax receipts are actually ahead of forecast. The problem is out-of-control spending, especially debt interest, and that unsettles the bond market, which unsettles mortgage rates.
3. Job vacancies fell 21,000 to 691,000, the lowest since 2014, with unemployment at 4.7%, and Barclays is cutting 5,000 jobs as firms use AI to cut costs. No job, no mortgage: more downward pressure on demand, transactions and prices.
4. 41% of homes for sale in England have had a price cut. Two in five sellers are chasing the market down, with Rightmove counting 3,000 price cuts a day in September. But four in five homes that sell never needed a cut because they were priced right first. Small cuts won't do anything: if you've had three months and no offers, you're at least 10% adrift.
5. Mortgage deals are now available for just 13 days before they're pulled or repriced. That makes it a nightmare for brokers, agents and buyers, so be ultra-prepared and get your mortgage offer locked in before you go out to buy.
Bonus: most first-time buyers now pay more on their mortgage than they did in rent, and that's before maintenance costs. Hamptons says 56% of former tenants who bought in September took on payments above their old rent, the highest in at least a decade. Buy a home for the right reasons, and don't overpay.
