Implications of Brexit on the housing market and your Mortgage agreement

The looming prospect of Brexit has cast uncertainty over all walks of life, the housing market and your mortgage agreement are not exempt from this. If you are selling your home, uncertainty in the economy has the potential to make buyers nervous, especially with many experts predicting housing prices to plummet in the next few months. The Bank of England has set out an extreme “hard Brexit” scenario that involves spiralling interest rates and house prices fall of up to 35% over 3 years. This has resulted in 5-year fixed rate mortgage deals overtaking 2-year options as thousands of homeowners are becoming increasingly worried about the economy and therefore are eager to lock in lower interest rates.

Now more than ever this highlights the importance of ensuring that you are fully prepared for the economic uncertainty that lies ahead. More and more households are very keen to bring certainty to their mortgage payments. Interest rates have risen and will continue to rise therefore it is very important that you plan ahead to ensure that your mortgage payments remain affordable.

What should I do?
It is crucial you fully understand your mortgage arrangement so that you have a clear understanding when your deal is coming to an end. Not having enough income to cover an increase in your mortgage can have serious consequences.

We at GDP Equity Experts, can’t stress enough the importance of staying on top of your mortgage payments. Cut backs to other items of expenditure may be necessary therefore it is vital that you ensure that savings can be made in other areas if required.

Far too often people ignore or try and pretend these problems don’t exist. Please be warned that these type of issues are far too serious to ignore. The implications of having an expensive mortgage rate can be as catastrophic as losing your home.
