A View From Grant Barnes
2021 saw frenetic house buying, fuelled by stamp duty holidays. However, the latest data from Rightmove recorded longer times in London than anywhere else to sell a property. Interest rates have also seen their first increase in more than three years, with more than 2 million borrowers on variable or tracker mortgages seeing their monthly payments increasing.

With best wishes for 2022,
