Gateway Today 60th Edition – Celebrating 35,000 subscribers

Celebrating our 35,000 subscribers with our 60th edition milestone.

“Welcome to the 60th edition of Gateway Today, our central news hub and an extension of who we are at Gateway.

For nearly a decade, Gateway has shared market insight, company news, projects and perspectives from across the property sector. Sixty editions later, more than 35,000 readers now join us each month and I would like to thank everyone who has been part of that journey.

The property industry continues to evolve. Changing economic conditions, new legislation and increasing expectations around the management, safety and performance of our homes are shaping the decisions being made by homeowners, landlords, developers and property professionals across the country.

There are also encouraging signs across the market. Average UK house prices have continued to show resilience, while changing mortgage rates mean homeowners approaching the end of a fixed deal should be thinking ahead and understanding the options available to them.

In this edition, our expert Financial Services Team offers valuable guidance on preparing for your next mortgage renewal. We’re also highlighting a limited time offer available exclusively to existing Gateway customers, which has already helped many of our clients.

You will also see more from Gateway across our social channels in the coming months, with new content designed to give a closer look at our people, services, properties and the work taking place across the business.

Reaching 60 editions is a milestone we’re proud of, Gateway Today will continue to evolve alongside the industry and our business.

Thank you to our clients, customers, subscribers and everyone who continues to read and engage with Gateway Today.”

Homeowners urged to act early as market shifts push mortgage pricing higher

Homeowners Urged to Review Mortgage Rates Early

Mortgage borrowers encouraged to review rates as lenders respond to market changes.

Homeowners approaching the end of a fixed-rate mortgage may benefit from reviewing their options early, as changing financial market conditions put renewed pressure on mortgage pricing.

Recent movements in the financial markets have contributed to changes in the cost of funding fixed-rate mortgages, with some lenders beginning to adjust their rates. For borrowers with a remortgage approaching, this reinforces the importance of understanding what is available and allowing sufficient time to make an informed decision.

Rather than waiting until a current mortgage deal expires, homeowners can start reviewing their options in advance and consider whether securing a new rate is appropriate for their circumstances.

David Tindall, Head of Mortgages at Gateway Financial Advisors, explains:

“The message to borrowers is simple: don’t leave it until the last minute.

We are seeing movement in the market and lenders can change their pricing very quickly. If you have a remortgage coming up, now is the time to look at your options and, where appropriate, secure a fixed rate that gives you certainty.

Nobody has a crystal ball when it comes to mortgage rates. However, if you can secure a rate today that works for you, there is considerable value in protecting yourself against the possibility of further increases.”

So, what does this mean if your current mortgage deal is coming to an end? David explains why acting early can give you more options and what borrowers should consider before making their next move.

The Housing Rules Have Changed. Is Your Property Still Compliant

Everything you need to know about the upcoming changes and their impact on landlords.

The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is the framework used by local authorities in England and Wales to assess health and safety hazards in residential properties, helping to ensure homes remain safe for residents and visitors.

Updated HHSRS guidance came into force on 23rd June 2026. While the framework has been refreshed, the responsibilities for landlords and letting agents remain largely unchanged. They must continue to identify, manage and address hazards, with local authorities using the HHSRS to assess risks.

Read on to discover what's changed, what it means for landlords and letting agents, and how to remain compliant under the updated framework.
