Artificial intelligence is starting to shape the way people sell, buy, rent and let homes. Used well, it can make the moving process smarter, faster and more connected.

Nationwide is cutting its mortgage rates once again with brokers welcoming competition heating up between lenders. Britain's biggest building society is making further rate cuts across fixed rate mortgage deals, and is also cutting rates on selected tracker mortgage products from 8th July 2026.

It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.

As school holidays approach, family buyers often become more focused. For sellers with space, gardens or flexible rooms, July can be a useful moment to attract motivated movers.
