What is Bloomcore? 🤔

Bloomcore recently took the Interior Design community by storm as a new floral trend with over 2.5 million TikTok views and rising! It’s apparently the new design movement that everyone is loving.

It essentially adds more colour than a collection of house plants whilst being more flowery than it’s sister cottagecore, which can be easily incorporated into the home!

What do you think of Bloomcore? Will you be giving into this trend?

July's property market remains vibrant despite the summer season. Rightmove reports a 3% higher buyer demand compared to 2019. Lower mortgage rates from lenders like NatWest and Halifax have made home loans more affordable, encouraging longer repayment terms for reduced monthly payments.

Balanced pricing strategies are back. Rightmove's data shows a slight 0.2% average property price reduction to attract both buyers and sellers. The Halifax House Price Index confirms a 0.1% house price dip, setting the UK average at £285,932.

Rental costs are on the rise, with a 2.5% increase in the last three months. Outside London, average asking rent is 33% higher than 2019, at £1,231 monthly. London's new tenant rents hit a record high of £2,567 monthly, up 28% from 2019.

Tenant demand remains strong, up 3% from 2022 and an impressive 42% from June 2019. Properties are renting quickly, taking just 17 days on average.

Prospective landlords have good news too. Rising rents and increasing yields – now at 5.2% on average – make for favourable buy-to-let conditions.

Mortgage rates set to fall as the Bank of England's rate hiking cycle may be ending. Big lenders are expected to cut fixed mortgage rates this week after pressure on policymakers eased. Economists predict a 0.25% rate increase, but inflation data indicates rates may not need to climb as high as feared. The present rate rise cycle could end in September. Optimism grows around house prices as interest rate hikes near their highest point. Lenders are already lowering mortgage rates slightly due to favourable market conditions, leading to potential improvement in property transactions if borrowing costs improve. 🏠💰
