Movera comment on Zoopla Price Index
29 September 2025
Comment from Mark Tosetti, CEO of CAL (part of Movera):
“The housing market is limping on despite ongoing inflationary pressures and a question mark hanging over interest rates. But going forward, with inflation expected to edge up again in October and a base rate cut unlikely, we can expect to see greater hesitancy amongst buyers ahead of the Autumn Budget. Post-budget, if speculation relating to stamp duty or capital gains tax becomes a reality, we could see transactions spike suddenly as buyers and sellers rush to complete before new measures come into play.
“The next few months could be a rollercoaster. Brokers will need have their wits about them to stay abreast of the best mortgage rates and take lessons from previous peaks and troughs to keep transactions progressing without bottlenecks.”
