100,000 buyers put home moves on hold as mortgage costs climb
Around 100,000 homebuyers have reportedly paused their property moves as rising mortgage costs squeeze affordability. Reports say would-be buyers are delaying transactions while they reassess whether they can afford higher monthly repayments. The development adds to signs that higher borrowing costs are slowing activity across the housing market, with estate agents and lenders bracing for a quieter period.
