Mortgage Rates Set to Drop This Summer — Here’s How to Maximise Your Move

Mortgage Rates Set to Drop This Summer — Here’s How to Maximise Your Move

With mortgage rates predicted to fall over the coming months, buyers and sellers have a rare opportunity. Here’s what this means for your next move — and how to plan strategically.

After months of steady (but high) rates, recent Bank of England announcements and market forecasts suggest interest rates could drop as early as July 2025, with lenders already adjusting fixed-rate products in anticipation.

💡 Why is this happening?

Inflation is cooling faster than expected, giving policymakers confidence to ease borrowing costs.

📉 What does this mean for you?

If you’re buying:

Lower rates improve affordability, increasing your buying power or reducing monthly repayments.

If you’re selling:

Buyer confidence is rising. More buyers can enter the market, which increases competition for well-presented homes — meaning better offers and faster sales.

If you’re both selling and buying:

You’re in a prime window to maximise your equity while benefiting from improved mortgage options on your next purchase.

Top 3 ways to prepare now:


1️⃣ Get your home valued professionally.
Understanding your current position gives you negotiating confidence.

2️⃣ Speak to an independent broker.
Rates change daily. Knowing your options before launching your sale avoids surprises later.
