Movera comments on HMRC property transactions

31 July 2025

Nick Hale, CEO at Movera, commented:

“The rise in residential transactions this month points to growing confidence in the market but it’s also a reminder of how closely activity tracks alongside interest rate movements, tax policy, and consumer sentiment. Buyers are clearly responding to the more stable rate environment and wider availability of mortgage products, particularly for first-time buyers.

“What matters now is whether this activity can be sustained. Without consistency in policy and clearer timelines across the home-moving journey, we risk another stop-start pattern that puts unnecessary pressure on the system.

“We continue to work closely with our partners across the industry to ensure smoother, faster transactions, especially during surges in demand. Market recovery depends not just on incentives, but on infrastructure that can actually cope with volume.”
