A New Month Brings New Opportunities: Start Your Search for a New Home

As the calendar turns to a fresh month, it’s the perfect time to embrace new opportunities – especially when it comes to finding your dream home. The Stamp Duty rates may have changed, but the future still looks bright. With the increase taking effect as of today, it's important to understand how this price shift may impact you. At Curo, we're here to guide you through all your options and make moving simple and stress-free!

There are plenty of reasons to feel optimistic about today's property market. With inflation rates falling to 2.8% stability could be on the horizon, offering confidence to both buyers and sellers. Lenders are also securing competitive mortgage rates below 4%, making homeownership more accessible. Barclays for example, is offering a five-year fixed rate at 3.96% (60% LTV) until June 2030*, while Skipton is providing a 95% LTV mortgage at 4.98% until June 2030*. A promising sign for first time-buyers with a 95% LTV product below 5% available. Our trusted partner, Evolve Financial Solutions can provide advice and valuable insights on the process and the best mortgage products available for you.

At Curo, we offer a range of buying schemes designed to save you both time and money on estate agent fees. Let us handle the hard work for you with our smart solutions which aim to make your next move easier.
