Foxtons' November 5, 2026 analysis expects limited housing-market impact from the Bank of England's base rate increase to 4%.
Most fixed-rate mortgage deals already reflect the expected increase through swap rates; existing mortgage offers retain their rates.
Average two-year fixed mortgage rates reached 5.55% in October, up from 4.25% in February, according to Rightmove figures cited.
Homes for sale across Great Britain reached their highest October level since 2014, giving buyers more choice amid reduced competition.
Lower mortgage rates could draw more buyers into the market, increasing competition; winter buyers remain highly motivated.
