Quilter says mortgage costs keep housing market subdued

By Public Technologies
  • Quilter mortgage expert Karen Noye warned on October 30, 2026, that expensive mortgages would keep the housing market subdued.
  • Nationwide annual house price growth slowed to 0.5% in October; prices were unchanged monthly, with the average at £273,566.
  • A further two-percentage-point property income tax increase from April 2027 could curb buy-to-let investment, potentially reducing rental supply.
  • The new Our First Home scheme offers a 20% equity loan, interest-free for five years, to support aspiring homeowners.
  • Its minimum deposit of 2.5% could help buyers with limited savings, but mortgage affordability remains the main constraint on demand.
