In this panel session with leading figures in the UK mortgage market we will discuss what 2025 holds for our industry. Will it be a year to hunker down and just get through, or one in which to step forward, to invest and to grow? In other words, stick or twist?
We have a new Government with a keen focus on both housing and the cost of living and we have had a challenging first budget. The new team are seemingly committed to house building in a more determined way than for many years. Planning reform and new partnerships to drive the housing market forward are on the agenda. They also have plans to improve the lot of private renters, with two new Acts planned reforming renting and leaseholds. Will this be at the expense of landlords and will the buy to let mortgage market be further affected as a result?
Across the market, from estate agency, through surveying and broking to lending we are all heading into a very different market from the last two years. Time to invest in new systems, staff, offices in a dash for growth, or time to bide time?
