"The Commercial Property Investment Market Begins an Upward Swing," writes Ian Lambert, Investment Partner, in the latest issue of Property Investor News: "Last year’s diminished investment levels were proof of widespread uncertainty in the property market owing to both economic and geopolitical factors. However, despite the excitement of a snap election, quiet confidence is beginning to settle in; interest rates are predicted to drop to 4.5% by the end of the year, many in the industry are now suggesting that the market has bottomed out and sentiment is optimistic that we are not far away from an upward swing. 2023 saw a deal volume well below the 10-year average of £53.4bn, but by December of last year, green shoots were emerging".

The Bank of England cuts interest rates The Bank of England (BoE) has reduced interest rates by 0.25% to 5.00%, which represents the first drop in the base rate since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. The BoE’s rate setting committee voted by a majority of five to four to reduce the rate. Paresh Raja, CEO at Market Financial Solutions, said: “The base rate has finally been cut, easing the barriers that have constrained the UK property market amid two years of high inflation and borrowing costs. I expect to see increased market activity in the coming weeks as a result. https://lnkd.in/eXXvd7Qm #property #realestate #landlords #interestrates #ratecut #baserate #propertyinvestor #mortgagerates #BTL #buytolet
