First Time Buyers News from Rightmove
Rightmoves consumer confidence survey reveals that first time buyers are struggling to find first time buyer properties. So called first time property sellers are staying put, feeling safe with current interest rates keeping mortgage payments low. Rightmoves survey concludes that First-time buyers need ‘first-time sellers’
Miles Shipside director at Rightmove comments: “Finding somewhere to buy and being able to access the means to actually buy it are the two biggest concerns for first-time buyers. With interest rates keeping monthly mortgage repayments comparatively low and fierce demand in the rental sector keeping the monthly rents high, you can understand the frustration of many ‘trapped renters’ who would like to buy but simply don’t have the means to get over the deposit hurdles put up by lenders.”

London Olympic Effect is Not an Issue for London Property Lettings or Sales
Property owners who are expecting to reap the benefits of increased rental returns during this year's big London events should not set their sights too high. The Olympics and Jubilee celebrations have not really prompted a mass surge of enquiries for short term lets;it appears that 90 percent of letting enquiries about this period are speculative enquiries coming from would be landlords planning to leave London during these busy events,and make a quick killing at the same time.
The Olympic or Jubilee Effect has also been used to promote the sale of London investment and buy to let property at overseas property shows. Recent surveys show that there has been a marked increase in Australian investment in residential buy to let property. However,this is more likely to be the result of the strong Australian dollar and familiarity with the London rental market, than with a one off events.
Any other recent rise in overseas nationals increased interest and purchase can be directly traced back to events in the home country; Russians seeking a safe haven in the run up to unnerving presidential elections; Cash rich Greeks are also seeking a steady investment during uncertain economic times; Chinese investors have already replaced those from Russia and the Middle East as the busiest property investors, led by their Government looking to invest huge, surplus to requirements, sovereign wealth fund.
No doubt these investors will also be able to afford some Olympic opening ceremony tickets too.

New Mortgage Launch at Chelsea Building Society
Chelsea Building Society said it is continuing in its aim to offer borrowers the most competitive mortgage deals with the lowest ever five year fixed rate deal.
Borrowers wanting a mortgage of up to 70% LTV (loan to value) can benefit from a rate of 3.19%, or 3.39% for the offset option. Both mortgages have a fee of £1,495.
‘This is the lowest five year fixed rate mortgage ever to come to the market, which is great for customers wanting longer term security in fixing what is likely to be their biggest monthly outgoing,’ said Chelsea Building Society product manager Jemma Smith.
Chelsea Building Society is also reducing two year fixed rates available up to 85% LTV:3.44%, or 3.64% offset, each with an £1,895 fee and 3.59%, or 3.79%, each with a £395 fee.
This Chelsea mortgage could prove a lifeline for home owners worried about increasing mortgage payments. Although it may be another year before the base rate rises, the only way for mortgage rates to go in the long term is up. Consumers can protect themselves against these rises by fixing but this has tended to come at a high price. The launch of this lowest long term 5 year fixed in market from Chelsea will offer peace of mind but without the hefty price tag.
