<p>We are over the moon to share that Skipton Properties has been named a finalist for the prestigious <em><a href="https://www.nationalworldevents.com/ypba-2024/"><strong>Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Award</strong></a></em> in the <em><strong>Best Family Business</strong></em> category. This recognition truly honours the heart of who we are—a family-run business with a passion for building exceptional homes that foster thriving communities.</p>



<p>Our Directors, Sarah and Caroline, are beyond delighted to have reached the finals and know that their father, our founder, would have been incredibly proud of this achievement. &#8220;Our father built this company with a vision of creating homes that stood for more than just bricks and mortar—they were foundations for families and communities to grow. It means the world to continue his legacy,&#8221; said Sarah.</p>

Launch of Pendle Farm, Worsthorne This Friday, 29th November


<div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>Good news for those dreaming of a new home</strong>—house prices in the UK are rising at the fastest rate in nearly two years, reflecting  confidence in the property market. Nationwide Building Society recently reported a 3.2% increase in house prices in the year to September, up from 2.4% in August, making it the sharpest annual rise since late 2022. With the average price of a UK home now standing at £266,094, it&#8217;s clear that the market is once again on the move.</p>



<p>This growth follows the Bank of England’s decision to reduce interest rates for the first time since 2020, cutting them from 5.25% to 5%. Lower rates have made borrowing more affordable, encouraging many to make the leap into home ownership. Robert Gardner, Nationwide’s Chief Economist, explained: “Income growth has outpaced house price growth, and with borrowing costs easing, affordability has improved for prospective buyers.” This trend has led to a noticeable increase in buyer activity, which is expected to continue as we approach the traditionally busy autumn period.</p>



<p>Terraced homes have seen the biggest rise, with prices up by 3.5%, followed by semi-detached homes and flats. Detached homes remain a popular choice due to the increased demand for space during the pandemic, with prices rising nearly 26% since 2020.</p>



<p>At Skipton Properties, we understand that buying a home is about more than just bricks and mortar. It’s about finding a place where you can create memories that last a lifetime. That’s why, with the market showing signs of strength, now is the perfect time to make your move.</p>



<p>And this Christmas, we’re making it even easier for you to find your dream home with our <strong>exclusive festive offer</strong>. For a limited time, when you reserve one of our beautifully crafted homes, you’ll enjoy <strong>luxury flooring throughout</strong>, making your home ready to move into from day one. Plus, we’ll give you <strong>£2,000 towards your moving costs</strong> to make your transition as smooth as possible.</p>



<p>As a little extra Christmas cheer, we’re also offering a <strong>£1,000 Amazon voucher </strong>to help you turn your new house into a home. Whether it’s adding the finishing touches or treating yourself to something special, this gift is the perfect way to celebrate the season in style.</p>

UK Property Market Gathers Strength: A Positive Outlook for Homebuyers


<div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The latest Zoopla House Price Index reveals a notable resurgence in UK housing market activity, supported by the lowest mortgage rates seen in over a year. With fixed mortgage rates now at their lowest in 15 months, buyer demand has surged, leading to a 25% increase in sales agreements compared to this time last year.</p>



<p>Today’s fixed mortgage rates have already priced in that financial markets expect UK interest rates to decrease over the next 2-5 years, which is further supporting buyer interest and market stability. This is good news for prospective homeowners, as many lenders are offering more competitive rates in anticipation of future interest rate cuts, allowing for a steady increase in market activity. You therefore don&#8217;t need to wait until the next Bank of England base rate review.</p>



<p>Looking forward, Zoopla predicts continued moderate price growth across the UK, driven by both increased buyer interest and a stabilising lending environment. This outlook suggests that the housing market will remain resilient, with a steady but measured pace of growth expected through the remainder of the year</p>

Lower Rates and Limited-Time Incentives


<p>Mortgage rates are expected to drop even further, with experts predicting they could reach as low as 3.5% by the end of the year. This encouraging news follows recent reductions by major lenders, resulting in some of the most competitive rates we’ve seen in months. As these rates continue to fall, now is the perfect time for potential homebuyers to take advantage of the favourable conditions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Skipton Properties New Home Incentives</h2>



<p>At Skipton Properties, we’ve been offering select <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/the-process/helping-you-buy/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/the-process/helping-you-buy/">incentives</a> on specific homes to support our customers during this period of market uncertainty. However, these incentives are not something we typically provide, as we believe in the lasting value and quality of our homes. With the property market poised to recover and stabilise, we anticipate that we will soon begin to reduce or even remove these incentives on these homes.</p>



<p>Our homes are selling fast across all of our <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/">developments</a>, with only a handful of properties remaining at some locations. This strong demand reflects the quality and desirability of our homes, coupled with the current financial opportunities. We strongly encourage anyone considering purchasing a new home to act swiftly before these last few homes are gone.</p>



<p>This is a rare opportunity to secure a new home with incentives that may not be available for much longer. As mortgage rates continue to decline, the cost of homeownership becomes more manageable, but these conditions won’t last forever.</p>



<p>Don’t miss out on this chance to benefit from both lower mortgage rates and our current incentive offerings. At Skipton Properties, we’re committed to helping you find the perfect home, and there’s no better time than now to make your move. Secure your future in a quality home today, before these unique opportunities and our remaining homes are no longer available.</p>




Act Now: Falling Mortgage Rates Present a Unique Opportunity for Our Homebuyers


<p>The UK housing market has received a significant boost following the Bank of England&#8217;s recent decision to cut the Base Rate to 5%—the first reduction in four years. This long-awaited move has sparked renewed optimism among home-movers, with Rightmove reporting a surge in buyer interest across the country.</p>



<p>According to Rightmove&#8217;s real-time data, the number of potential buyers enquiring about homes increased by 19% year-on-year since the Base Rate cut was announced at the start of August. This jump in demand represents a substantial improvement from July, where interest was up 11% compared to the same period in 2023. The data suggests that this rate cut has reinvigorated the market, as many prospective buyers see this as an opportune moment to pursue their home-moving plans.</p>



<p>Tim Bannister, Rightmove&#8217;s property expert, commented on the development: “The first Bank Rate cut since 2020 has sparked a welcome late summer boost in buyer activity. While mortgage rates aren’t yet substantially lower, the fact that the long-hoped-for first cut has finally arrived, and mortgage rates are heading downwards, is positive for home-mover sentiment. As the summer holiday season comes to an end, the conditions are there for a more active autumn market.”</p>



<p>While the reduction in the Base Rate has already had a noticeable impact on buyer activity, the full effect on mortgage rates is still unfolding. Although the lowest available 5-year fixed-rate mortgage is now at 3.83%—the lowest since the mini-Budget in September 2022—mortgage rates remain higher than a few years ago. Bannister advises sellers to remain realistic with their pricing, as affordability challenges persist for many buyers.</p>



<p>Despite a typical seasonal drop in asking prices this August—down 1.5% from the previous month to £367,785—Rightmove has revised its year-end forecast upwards. The property portal now expects house prices to end 2024 with a modest 1% increase, a significant turnaround from their earlier prediction of a 1% decline.</p>



<p>Bannister added: “The reaction from home-movers to what is hopefully only the first of several rate cuts over the next year or two, combined with other positive data and trends, has led us to raise our price prediction for the year.”</p>



<p>This positive momentum suggests that the housing market could be in for a more stable and possibly prosperous end to the year, as the effects of the Base Rate cut continue to permeate through the market.</p>
