Stop Waiting for Rates to Drop - Why Now Is the Real Buying Window | Neil McGimpsey

In this clip from the full-length episode, Neil McGimpsey - Group Director at Lomond, one of the UK's largest multi-brand estate agency and lettings groups makes the case that the current market is a genuine buying opportunity, not a reason to wait. With nearly two decades in property, from joining Foxtons in 2006 to leading a multi-brand platform spanning London, Scotland, Yorkshire and the North West, Neil unpacks why 4–7% mortgage rates are historically normal, why holding out for cheaper money could cost you more in price inflation, and how stamp duty reform, better PR for landlords and building more homes could fix the market.He explains why the real housing problem isn't people owning second and third homes — it's that we're not building enough of them and shares his personal (and not universally shared) view on shifting stamp duty liability to the seller.Whether you're a landlord, a tenant, a broker or just curious about where the UK property market is really heading - hit play, and don't forget to like, subscribe and share!Need help with your mortgage?👉 Get started here – https://www.prestigepf.co.uk/📊 Try our Stamp Duty Calculator – https://www.prestigepf.co.uk/stamp-duty-calculator📸 Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/prestigepf/💼 Connect on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/prestige-private-finance/posts/?feedView=all#propertymarket #neilmcgimpsey #mortgages
