New Updates to the UK Mortgage Market in 2023: What You Need to Know
The UK mortgage market is constantly evolving, with new economic factors shaping the landscape. As of the start of 2023, there are several notable updates to the UK mortgage market that potential buyers and homeowners should be aware of.
Interview with Mortgage Advisor Miriam Nawagamuwa CeMAP
One of the biggest changes is the increase in interest rates. The Bank of England has been hiking its base rate since 2021 to 4%, the highest in 14 years. Mortgage rates have risen substantially, making borrowing more expensive. However, there are still competitive rates available for those with good credit scores and larger deposits or equity.
In addition to interest rates, the UK mortgage market is also seeing increased competition among lenders. More and more online-only banks are entering the market, offering lower rates and faster application processes. This is good news for borrowers, given them more options to choose from when shopping for the best mortgage deal.
Stricter lending and affordability checks have been introduced following the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) lending review in 2022. Mortgage lenders now consider borrowers' regular expenditure and other financial commitments when assessing affordability. In the past, banks lent based on a simple multiple of salary. The tough new criteria means that some borrowers may find it harder to secure a mortgage or re-mortgage, but ensures that lenders are lending responsibly and not overstretching borrowers.
The lending ‘stress test’ bar has also been raised on buy-to-let mortgages, pushing more investors into higher yielding HMO’s, holiday lets and serviced accommodation.
Regulators do not want a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis largely caused by banks lending recklessly to borrowers with a poor credit history.
Finally, the government's Help to Buy scheme will end in March 2023. This scheme allowed first-time buyers to purchase a home with just a 5% deposit, with the government providing a loan of up to 20% (or 40% in London) of the property value.
Overall, the UK mortgage market is a complex and ever-changing landscape. It's essential for potential buyers and homeowners to keep up to date with the latest developments and to seek professional advice before making any significant financial decisions. With the right knowledge and support, it's possible to navigate the market and secure a mortgage that meets your needs and financial goals.

US regulators have taken control of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) as a liquidity crisis caused the biggest bank failure since the 2008 Crisis.

The Bank of England said depositors in the UK arm of SVB will be protected up to £85,000 and the US regulators protect depositors up to $250,000.
This will not help firms like Roku which is reported to have had $487 million in SVB.
Here in the UK, the media is concentrating on more important issues than the failure of America’s 16th largest bank, Gary Lineker!
The MOTD football presenter, who is paid in excess of £1,000,000 a year for his weekly show, was suspended by the BBC this week after tweeting remarks about the government’s migrant policy. Several other presenters have walked out in sympathy with Lineker wrecking the BBC’s weekend football schedule.
The demise of SVB, which started in 1983 and employs 8500 people, is a sign that higher interest rates and the Fed’s QT policy is starting to bite the economy and that we are not out of the woods.
