February has shone a bright spotlight on home ownership. We saw the Bank of England cut interest rates to 4.5%, boosting confidence among homeowners and first-time buyers alike. Meanwhile, the national campaign for New Homes Week 2025, highlighted the advantages of buying a new-build home and the vital role housebuilding plays in strengthening communities.

At Muir Homes, we’re starting to see that confidence returning to the market. Lower mortgage rates and more stabilised inflation levels have made home ownership more accessible, driving strong demand for our developments.
