Interest Rates Drop to 4% – Now Is the Time to Buy at Auction

The Bank of England’s recent decision to cut the base rate to 4% is welcome news for property buyers across the UK. This shift is already having a positive effect on the market, boosting confidence and increasing buyer activity.

At Bond Wolfe, we are preparing for what is set to be one of our most active auctions of the year, taking place this September. With well over 150 residential, commercial, and land lots expected, there will be a wide range of opportunities available for investors, landlords, developers, and private buyers alike.

Why this rate cut matters for buyers
Lower interest rates typically mean more favourable mortgage terms, improved affordability, and greater flexibility when it comes to securing finance. For buyers looking to enter or expand their property portfolio, now is an ideal time to act, while borrowing is more affordable and before competition intensifies further.

Gurpreet Bassi, CEO of Bond Wolfe, explains:

“The interest rate drop to 4% has come at the perfect time for buyers. It’s created a window of opportunity to secure property while borrowing is cheaper and competition is growing. We expect strong demand at our September auction.”
