Why Now's the Time to Buy Instead of Rent

Thinking about buying your first home but unsure if it’s the right time? You might be surprised to learn that buying is now cheaper than renting in many areas! With falling mortgage rates and lower deposit requirements, the dream of homeownership is more within reach than ever. Keep reading to find out why 2025 could be the perfect year for you.

Homeownership might feel out of reach, but it's more achievable than you think. Right now, buying a home is 15% cheaper than renting in many areas across England and Wales. With average rent at £1,250/month and mortgage repayments at just £1,066/month for a typical £240,000 property, you could be building equity instead of paying your landlord.

Mortgage Rates Are Dropping

Mortgage rates have dropped 10% since mid-2023, making it a great time to buy. Lower rates mean lower monthly payments and more affordable homeownership.

Saving for a Deposit Doesn’t Have to Be Hard

Many first-time buyers worry about the deposit, but it's not as tough as it seems. The key is talking to a mortgage advisor early to create a plan. In the North West, the average deposit is often lower than 20%, making it even more achievable. With expert advice, you can navigate government schemes and find the right strategy for you.
