House Sales Highest for 18 Months
London, England -- (SBWire) -- 11/03/2015 --HM Revenue and Customs recently released data which shows that August had the most amount of houses sold since February last year. The figures were the highest monthly figures in 18 months. With the interest rate on mortgages at a record low of 0.5% first time buyers are taking advantage and purchasing houses.
Help to buy
With 106,480 homes sold in the UK during the summer months, August is the third month in a row with over 100,000 sales, which shows a steady increase of home purchases in 2015. With David Cameron promising a "national crusade" to build more houses and more affordable homes for first time buyers with the 'Help to Buy' scheme, sales figures are expected to be high.
Recently announced in the budget was the 'Help to Buy' ISA's being launched in December, making it more affordable and beneficial for first time buyers to save a deposit, with the government adding up to 25% into the deposit when it's used for a mortgage.
Getting help with a move
Once a house sale has been finalised, getting belongings and possessions moved is the next priority. Top Removals help many first time buyers move into their new properties. A spokesperson for the company said: "The fact that house sale figures are great, it reflects how well the British economy is progressing in that more and more people are finding it more affordable to be able to move house. There have been a few issues with house prices going up in recent months, but it doesn't seem to be deterring people. We love to help people move, and we can even do all the packing too!"
