Market update:
Mortgage rates in the UK are showing cautious signs of easing as we head into the second half of 2025. The Bank of England has trimmed its base rate to 4.25%, down from last year’s peak of 5.25%, and while lenders remain wary, some are beginning to offer two-year fixed deals just under 4%—especially for borrowers with strong equity.
- Forecasts suggesting a gentle downward trend if inflation continues to cool. For landlords and homebuyers alike, this could be a window of opportunity. While we’re not expecting a dramatic drop, analysts predict further base rate cuts by year-end, potentially nudging mortgage rates firmly below 4%
- It’s still a market that rewards preparation and timing—so whether you're refinancing or expanding your portfolio, now’s a great time to review your options.
HUXMOR can arrange finance for various scenarios including:
• Residential mortgages
• Buy-to-let mortgages
• Short-term finance
• Re-financing of existing arrangement
onto more efficient and structured products
• Agricultural finance
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE - HUXMOR Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA does not regulate some forms of buy-to-let and commercial mortgages.

Richard Greasby Runs Another Ultra Marathon - Running In a Land Of Fire & Ice
There was a certain inevitability that soon after my double marathon in the Atlas Mountains in 2024 that I would be open to another challenge whilst legs, health and my wonderfully supportive wife Carol allowed. This has all followed a growing, but unplanned, running adventure since 2019 with 14 ultra marathons and over 6000 training miles (including 100-ish half-marathon training runs). Needless to say, my physio is seeing more of me than ever!

Helen Whitfield - Market Comment
The last couple of months over the summer holidays have been unexpectedly busy for the Butler Sherborn residential teams. Traditionally, the property market tends to slow down during the school break, as many families travel abroad and shift their focus away from house hunting. However, the summer of 2025 has defied expectations.

Preparing To Sell Your Home
Instruct a solicitor at an early stage to review your title and title plan before taking your property to market. Obtaining legal advice at the outset allows any potential issues to be identified and addressed in advance, significantly reducing the risk of delays or complications later in the process.
