The improvement in buyer interest in recent months has raised hopes of an imminent recovery. However, we think this is overly optimistic. When looked at in perspective, the recent upturn has been very modest and seems fully consistent with today’s BBA …

Figures released by the CML last week showed that mortgage arrears in the buy-to-let (BTL) market are running ahead of those in the wider market. This is a relatively new development but, over the next few years, we suspect that it may become the norm. … …

Official interest rates have reached their floor, but while recent press speculation has focused on the idea that mortgage interest rates are more likely to rise than fall from here, we think there is still scope for a modest further fall. … Can mortgage …

Measures of mortgage affordability are suggesting that houses are already good value. But these measures are reflecting the abnormally low current level of interest rates. When interest rates return to normal, affordability will deteriorate. This effect …

A number of alternative sources of private sector rent data have recently emerged. However, their conflicting signals mean that the available picture of what is actually happening to rents remains confused. What does seem clear, however, is that with the …

There are tentative signs that activity levels in the housing market are bottoming out. Any recovery in activity is, however, unlikely to be sufficiently strong to prevent further house price falls. Our forecast of a 20% fall in house prices this year and …
