What is driving the market in BS4?
The Bank of England base rate sits at 4.5% as of mid-2026, down from its 5.25% peak. Mortgage rates have followed, with the best 5-year fixes now around 4.0-4.3%. Lower rates support buyer affordability, but the effect is uneven across price bands. Higher-value properties are more sensitive to rate moves because they carry larger loan-to-income multiples.

For buyers
- Always get an independent valuation before offering. Online estimates and agent valuations are not evidence. Sold prices are.
For sellers
- A down-valuation by the buyer's lender is the single biggest cause of fall-throughs. Set an asking price the sold comparables support and the surveyor is likely to agree. Evidence wins.
- Ensure your EPC rating and floor area are documented and visible. Buyers comparing properties filter by running costs. A missing EPC signals neglect.
