LPBulletin 22nd July 2025 – Summary

The UK property market shows signs of renewed confidence as lenders cut mortgage rates despite the Bank of England holding its base rate at 4.25%. This signals economic stability and opportunities for investors to fix rates and secure cash flow. Developers like Barrett Redrow face challenges due to high rates and reduced demand, especially in London.

UK house prices rose 3.9% year-on-year to £269,000, with rental prices in London hitting a record £2,252/month. New build sales remain low, while first-time buyer activity has picked up. Inflation may delay further rate cuts, but mortgage rates are still trending downward.

Rental markets are active nationwide, with the North East leading in rent growth and London seeing a strong bounce in listings and tenant demand. The bulletin ends with a call to subscribe for regular insights into the super prime market.

🎙️ The Property Bulletin by London Property – July 2025

This week, Farnaz Fazaipour breaks down the truth behind recent headlines about millionaires fleeing the UK. Despite claims that 9,500 left in 2024, that’s just 0.3% of the millionaire population—and much of the data comes from LinkedIn updates, not hard evidence.

💼 UBS does forecast a 16% drop in UK millionaires by 2028 and a 25% fall in billionaires since COVID, driven by high taxes, political instability, and the loss of non-dom perks.

🏠 We also cover:

• Leasehold Reform Act: New rights for leaseholders to fight unfair service charges
• Rent Review Shake-Up: Government proposes banning upwards-only rent reviews in new commercial leases
• First-Time Buyer Boost: Bank of England eases mortgage rules; 36,000 more buyers expected to benefit
• New Mortgage Scheme: Govt to guarantee 95% loans under the "Freedom to Buy" initiative

Plus: Are Labour’s tax plans causing fear among the wealthy? And what does it mean for London’s prime property market?
