Houzecheck comments on BoE MPC decision
30 July 2026
Richard Sexton, commercial director at Houzecheck, said:
“The housing market remains a game of patience, and today’s decision keeps the chess pieces firmly in place.
“The Bank of England’s decision to hold the Base Rate reflects the balancing act facing policymakers, with inflation pressures easing but affordability challenges still shaping household decisions.
“As confidence gradually returns, the focus must shift from interest rates to transaction efficiency. Buyers may be ready to make their move, but the process needs to keep pace. Fast, reliable surveys and valuations will be essential to turning confidence into completed transactions.”
