Breaking News – A Lockdown Update for Homeowners and Landlords in Wembley

The Prime Minister announced at 8pm this evening people in England will be going back into lockdown tomorrow following a surge in Coronavirus cases.

The tighter restrictions include schools shutting until the February half-term for most pupils. People must now work from home if they can, and only essential shops can remain open.

Which leads us to how these new measures will affect people wanting and needing to move home.

According to the Government’s latest advice issued on its website, people CAN still move home as long as they follow the guidelines in place.
At the end of this article, there is a link to the information the Government issued this evening.

The section which addresses the property market states.

Moving home
You can still move home. People outside your household or support bubble should not help with moving house unless absolutely necessary.
Estate and letting agents and removals firms can continue to work. If you are looking to move, you can go to property viewings.
Follow the national guidance on moving home safely, which includes advice on social distancing, letting fresh air in, and wearing a face covering.

In the past decade, millions of Brits have snapped up home tech gadgets to monitor their kids, cats, dogs and deliveries. About one in five homes has a doorbell camera, while thousands more have pet CCTV or video baby monitors. With all this kit installed, it’s probably no surprise that some people have taken to using it for another purpose.

In an age of sensational headlines, the UK property market—particularly in Wembley—often finds itself misinterpreted. While we cannot ignore the challenges of higher mortgage rates and shifting buyer preferences, it is vital to appreciate the broader context to understand what's happening in the Wembley property landscape.

It’s no secret that the younger generation in Wembley is finding it tough to get onto the property ladder. With the rising cost of living, stagnating wages, and stricter mortgage criteria, it's no surprise that fewer under-34s are becoming homeowners.

Earlier today, the Bank of England (B of E) announced that the base interest rate will be cut by 0.25 to 4.75%. This is good news for the property market.
