1926–2022: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Like so many, we were deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, this month.
The Gateway team offers its sincere condolences to The Royal Family, and everyone affected by this news. We pay tribute to Her Majesty for 70 years of unparalleled public service, devotion to duty and exemplary leadership. The Queen never wavered in her pledge to serve those in her care and will be remembered as a dedicated, compassionate and inspiring monarch, respected the world over.
“I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.”
Queen Elizabeth II

Industry news: UK property forecast
Despite the tough economic climate impacting buyers’ finances, house prices continued to grow by double digits this summer. Is the market now slowing?
Mortgage lender, Nationwide, reported a 10% rise in UK house prices in the year to August 2022, with the typical property value increasing by £50,000 in the last 24 months to £273,751. There are, however, signs of a slowing market, with growth slightly lower than the 11.8% figure in July.
Industry forecasters predict a dip, not a crash, even if a recession hits the UK later this year. There remains strong demand for homes, which continues to outstrip supply, but larger household energy and food prices over the coming months will put pressure on household budgets. Higher interest rates will also be a key market factor if these result in rising mortgage rates.
