Christmas Eve brought the news that Boris Johnson had conclusively agreed on a Brexit deal for the UK with the European Union. This gave optimism that the economic turmoil of leaving the EU would be radically reduced, yet what will this ‘trade deal’ do to the value of your Darwen home and the mortgage payments you will have to make?
Since the summer, the Darwen property market has been booming, yet many commentators have cautioned that the momentum cannot last. With unemployment and the end of the Stamp Duty Holiday on 31st March, the Halifax reported last week that they believed UK house prices would drop by at least 2% (and in some areas 5%) in 2021.
I find it fascinating the Darwen property market has defied the doom and gloom swamping the wider British economy in the last seven months. The Darwen property market has profited from the large swell in demand from better-off existing Darwen households trying to buy larger Darwen houses (as they are required to work from home) together with the added benefit of saving money from the Stamp Duty Holiday.
