THE TIMES | MORTgage rates drop in sign that crisis may be over
Adrian Anderson, from the broker Anderson Harris, said the rate cut was good news for all homebuyers and those looking to remortgage and he hoped to see further cuts in rates throughout the year. “It does feel like we are on the path to cheaper mortgage rates, where the costs are going to get cheaper, which will help with market confidence and affordability,” he said. “I guess the hope is that by the end of the year we could be getting closer to 3.5 per cent.”

MORTGAGE INTRODUCER | INSIDE THE SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY OF A HIGH-END MORTGAGE BROKER
Harry Arnold explains how Anderson Harris is using Instagram and LinkedIn to build business credibility. “We actually did a full rebrand before launching our social media strategy,” Arnold said. “The idea was to bring our visual identity in line with the clients we serve.” With a growing number of wealth managers and private banks establishing strong digital presences, Arnold and his team saw an opportunity to do the same.
The firm has found a balance between two key platforms. “Instagram is more directed at direct clients and also to potential mainly property related introducers... it's much more brand led and it's a lot more consumer driven,” Arnold said. “LinkedIn is more [about] keeping in contact with our network of people we already know.”
“That's why we see social media as part of a larger strategy. We did our website, we've invested heavily in reviews... we spent a lot of money and, for example, all of the imagery for the business is bespoke and meant to reflect our clients and client profiles and the areas of London and the areas of the country that they live and the types of houses they buy. So it's all meant to be a whole thing.” - Harry Arnold, Director

THE TIMES| HOW THE TOP TAX RATE BECAME A MIDDLE-CLASS PROBLEM
“The general feeling I get now from clients earning £125,140 a year is that they feel worse off in real terms than they were in 2015. People face higher taxes, higher interest rates and higher basic living expenses, so they have less disposable income.
I used to see additional-rate taxpayers sending children to private school, but now it feels like both parents have to earn a six-figure salary to manage school fees and higher mortgage costs.” - Adrian Anderson, Managing Director

THE TIMES | mortgage prices are falling - should you fix?
“A lot of the banks are fighting for market share. Many will be behind their annual targets because purchase transactions are down, so they will want to try and entice people to take a mortgage with them and increase their loan book.” - Adrian Anderson, Managing Director
