A Festive Message from Our Family to Yours

The Bank of England recently announced a second Base Rate adjustment this year, lowering it to 4.75%. This may help to ease borrowing costs, and with our current incentive packages, now could be an ideal time to explore purchasing your dream home. Remember, these incentives won’t be available forever – please reach out to discuss what works best for you. What Does This Mean for Buyers? A lower Base Rate can lead to more favoruable mortgage rates, reducing monthly repayments and making homeownership more accessible. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or planning your next move, this reduction enhances affordability, helping you secure a mortgage that fits your financial goals. Take the First Step Today With interest rates on a downward trend, the opportunity to lock in a more affordable mortgage is now. Skipton Properties is here to guide you every step of the way, offering thoughtfully designed homes built with care, craftsmanship, and a commitment to quality. Start your journey towards homeownership today and discover the difference of buying with a family-run business that truly cares. Contact our friendly team to explore our available homes and find the perfect place to call your own. New Homes. Reimagined.

Lower Rates and Limited-Time Incentives

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.



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



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.



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.



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.



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.

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

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.



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.



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.”



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.



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.



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.”



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.

A Hat-Trick for Craig Piggot: Celebrating His Third LABC Bricks Award Win at The Alders.

Are you on the hunt for the perfect natural stone home in the charming village of <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/croft-mill-foulridge/" class="ek-link">Foulridge, Lancashire</a>? Look no further; the Craven and Bailey homes offer you a blend of modern design, thoughtful layouts, and a picturesque location. These two beautiful homes are part of a small, exclusive development of just 17 properties in the heart of Foulridge. In this article, we&#8217;ll delve into what makes these homes so special, showcasing their features through captivating photos of previously built Craven homes (please note the Bailey is a version of the Craven that has been adapted to work perfectly in their plot positions within the development).



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Craven Property: A Detached Delight</h2>



The Craven is a standout among new home designs, consistently earning praise for its spacious interiors amongst our homeowners. Constructed with natural stone and designed in a traditional style, it exudes charm and elegance. This stunning home boasts a wrap-around kitchen and dining space that&#8217;s perfect for hosting gatherings or simply enjoying family meals. The separate living area provides privacy and comfort for relaxation.



<figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://cms.verityandcohomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bolton-Gardens-The-Craven-Plot-64-External-003-scaled.jpg" alt="Craven property - Bolton Garden, Silsden" class="wp-image-44662"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Craven, Bolton Gardens</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Choose the Bailey: Semi-Detached Sophistication</h2>



Offering the same amount of space as The Craven, The Bailey is semi-detached and offers more value for money. It is a close cousin to the Craven, with a slightly different ground floor layout, influenced by its position in the development. Constructed with the same natural stone, the Bailey benefits from a south-facing orientation and offers a warm and inviting ambience.



<figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://cms.verityandcohomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bolton-Gardens-The-Craven-Plot-64-External-035-scaled.jpg" alt="The Craven at Bolton Gardens in Silsden, West Yorkshire" class="wp-image-50207"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings</h2>



Both the Craven and Bailey homes are built to impress with A energy ratings. They come equipped with solar panels, ensuring lower energy bills. New build properties, renowned for their insulation and water-saving features, make these homes exceptionally cost-effective to run.

<figure class="wp-block-video alignwide"><video controls src="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/IMG_9213-1.mov"></video></figure>







<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Thoughtful Layouts for Comfort</h3>



These homes are designed with families in mind. Both offer three double bedrooms, providing ample space for everyone. The master bedroom includes an en-suite for added convenience, and there&#8217;s a well-appointed bathroom for the rest of the family. Additionally, a single bedroom provides flexibility for various needs.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beautiful Gardens</h3>



Both Bailey homes feature south-facing orientations, which means you&#8217;ll enjoy plenty of natural light. The gardens are turfed and meticulously landscaped to the fronts, perfect for relaxing outdoors and entertaining friends and family. In contrast, the Craven faces east, offering its own unique benefits.

A big thank you from all of us – The Willows, Silsden

The housing market is showing promising signs of growth, as key uncertainties have been addressed, paving the way for increased home-mover confidence. According to Tim Bannister, Rightmove’s director of property science, “Three major uncertainties hanging over the property market at the start of the year were when the first interest rate cut would be, and the timing and the result of the general election. We’ve now got the political certainty of a new government with a large majority, which we expect will help home-mover confidence.”



This newfound political stability is coupled with encouraging trends in mortgage rates. After months of speculation, mortgage rates are gradually decreasing. Market analysts are anticipating an interest rate reduction at the next Bank of England meeting, which is expected to occur in August or September. This reduction is likely to drive rates even lower.



At Skipton Properties, we are committed to helping you in the current interest rate environment. Our tailored incentives should exceed any extra mortgage payments you may pay, you could also take advantage of <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/the-process/own-new/">Own New</a>, which secures a much lower rate for a fixed term of two years. We&#8217;ve always believed in our homes and the quality <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/specification/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/specification/">specification</a> we include so these incentives won’t be available indefinitely, so is now the perfect time to explore your options for buying a <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/">new build home</a>?
