High mortgage rates pricing out buyers, says Nationwide
ShareShareShareShareShare

Prices were up 1.5% from a year earlier, but Nationwide said activity in the housing market had been “broadly flat” over the past 12 months, with transactions down by about 15% compared with 2019.

The lender said the market was still being affected by the increase in mortgage rates, which started climbing after the Bank of England began to raise its key interest rate in late 2021.

Robert Gardner, Nationwide’s chief economist, said that mortgage rates are “still well above the record lows prevailing in 2021 in the wake of the pandemic”.

“For example, the interest rate on a five-year fixed rate mortgage for a borrower with a 25% deposit was 1.3% in late 2021, but in recent months this has been nearer to 4.7%.

“As a result, housing affordability is still stretched.”

Nationwide’s figures are based on the building society’s own mortgage lending, which does not include buyers who purchase homes with cash, or buy-to-let deals. Cash buyers account for about a third of housing sales.

The impact of higher borrowing costs can be seen in the fact that transactions involving a mortgage are down by nearly 25% over the past year, Nationwide said.

Meanwhile the number of cash transactions for properties is about 5% higher than pre-pandemic levels.
