2 NEWS 

Have mortgage rates now peaked? 

Following the Bank of England’s decision last week to freeze interest rates for the first time in 15 months, 

Sarah Thompson, Managing Director at Mortgage Scout, looks at the possibility of the base rate falling 

significantly in the future. 

Since the Bank of England base rate started making large jumps around 

the middle of last year, mortgage rates have increased significantly from 

the historic lows that borrowers had enjoyed since early 2015, when the 

average two-year fixed rate dropped below 2% and the average fiveyear 

fixed went sub-3%. 

By the autumn of 2021, average two-year fixed mortgages were just 1.2%, with some 

borrowers able to access a rate of below 1%, and average five-year fixed rates were 

less than 1.3%. 

But in December 2021, the bank rate started to rise from its all-time low of 0.1% and 

mortgage interest rates followed suit, as is the norm. Some mortgage rates spiked 

to over 6% following the Conservatives’ disastrous mini-budget last September, 

although they did start to fall again once Rishi Sunak took over as leader. 

By the time we entered 2023, the average two-year fixed mortgage rate was just under 

5.8% and the Bank Rate stood at 3.5% with experts predicting further increases 

before the summer. 

What’s happened to mortgage interest rates so far this year? 

At the start of the year, even with the bank rate rising and inflation still high, 

mortgage rates continued their steady decline from the November 2022 peak. In 

February, two and five-year fixed rates were 5.44% and 5.2% respectively, then in 

March, those figures dropped to 5.32% and 5%. 

But by May, as repeated base rate increases failed to have an impact on inflation, 

lenders began to backtrack and in mid-June, the average two-year fixed mortgage rate 

rose to over 6%. 

Individual rates have started to come down again 

However, that is just an average figure, and the good news is that individual rates 

have started to come down again, mainly thanks to significant falls in the rate of 

inflation, which is now expected to reduce to 5% by the end of this year and then 

reach the target of 2% by the start of 2025. 

In July, HSBC became the first high street lender to announce that it was making 

some cuts to its fixed-rate products, with other major lenders – including 

Nationwide, Barclays and Virgin Money - following suit over the next month. As 

it stands in September, first-time buyers can access five-year fixed rates at well 

under 6% and two or three-year fixed products at slightly above 6%. 

Five-year rates are lower than two-year rates 

It’s worth noting that it’s fairly unusual for a five-year rate to be lower than a twoyear 

one, as has been the case for around a year now. This is the strongest possible 

indication that lenders do believe the base rate will fall significantly in the future. 

Despite a 14th consecutive increase at the start of August, to 5.25% we have 

now, as of 21 September, seen the first freeze in 15 months. Capital Economics 

had previously predicted that rates would peak at 5.5%, lower than previously 

forecast and so perhaps this will never be materialised. This is likely to be 

followed by continuing falls in mortgage rates, which is good news for borrowers. 

Speak to a broker 

There are so many variables to consider, that if you want to buy or need to 

remortgage this year, we think it’s well worth talking to a mortgage broker sooner 

rather than later, allowing at least six months to go through the remortgage 

process. 

Mortgage applications can be held up if documents are missing, so make sure you 

gather what is required and provide them with all the necessary information as 

soon as possible.

Energy efficiency grows in popularity 

despite government U-turn 

Last week, Rishi Sunak confirming rumours that the government was set to ‘soften’ several key green 

policies, including minimum EPC standards for rental properties, but new research shows that energy 

efficiency is of growing importance amongst prospective homebuyers. 

In his speech, Rishi Sunak said that the costs of upgrading homes were huge and 

likely to be passed on as higher rents for tenants. Instead, the Government will offer 

money as an incentive to landlords and homeowners to upgrade their properties, 

with EPC changes that were due to go live for existing tenancies in 2028 now 

scrapped. 

However, despite the loss of these long-awaited minimum energy efficiency targets, 

new research conducted by the Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) shows that almost 

three in four (74%) prospective homebuyers recognise a home with an Energy 

Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of an A or B as more attractive than less energy 

efficient properties. 

MAB believes this is largely driven by the desire to reduce household running costs, 

as the UK grapples with the ongoing cost of living crisis and concerns that costs will 

remain elevated. 

Of those surveyed (1,001), 51% said they are considering a home with a higher 

EPC rating to reduce overall utility bills, with 36% looking to keep warmer in 

winter for less. 32% are considering a higher EPC rated property to potentially 

reduce their mortgage repayments though green mortgages, and 33% are already 

thinking about their next step in terms of buying a higher rated property, since this 

Llanfoist to Abergavenny Active Travel bridge 

The works comprise of earthworks for the south ramp only initially, on the 

Llanfoist side of the River Usk and will take approximately four weeks to complete. 

These establishment works will be carried out by the Monmouthshire County 

Council’s operations team. Access to the bank will be maintained. 

Construction will be paused over winter, after which the remaining elements of 

this ramp, the northside ramp and the main bridge structure will be constructed 

next year. It is currently planned to be completed by December 2024. 

This work does not include any routes within Castle Meadows this year. The 

planning application for the Castle Meadows paths will be considered at the 

October planning meeting at Monmouthshire County Council. 

For further information on the Llanfoist to Abergavenny Active Travel scheme, 

please see:https://www.monlife.co.uk/castle-meadows-faq/ 

could add value when it’s time to move out. 

Meanwhile, over a third (36%) of potential homebuyers are considering a higher EPC 

rated property to be more eco-friendly and reduce their impact on the environment. 

Commenting on these findings, Ben Thompson, deputy CEO at MAB, has 

said: 

“The high energy costs we’ve experienced in the UK over the past couple of years 

have hit many people’s finances, stretching budgets to the limit. As a result, any 

means to cut back on spending, particularly on energy bills, has become a bigger 

priority for prospective homebuyers. 

“As our findings show, mortgage payments are also a central concern to prospective 

homebuyers. However, the good news is that opting for a higher EPC rated property 

could make you more likely to be entitled to a green mortgage scheme. 

“These plans reward homeowners for buying or owning an energy efficient home - for 

example, with potentially lower interest rates on mortgage payments, or incentives 

such as cashback. If this is something you are interested in, it’s essential to speak to a 

mortgage adviser, who will be able to establish whether a green mortgage would suit 

your needs.” 

works commences 

As part of the Welsh Government Active Travel funding awarded in 2023/24, phase 1 construction on the 

Llanfoist to Abergavenny Active Travel bridge commenced on Monday 18th September, 2023.

The Grade II listed property was converted in 2002 

in a manner which sympathetically introduced high 

quality, contemporary enhancements whilst retaining 

the building's ancient ambience. At the heart of the 

entrance to the threshing barn, which is open to the 

A-frame, exposing the historic beams, some of which 

are thought to be medieval and reputed to have 

come from now-ruined Llangybi Castle. 

Entranced by the property's history, the fantastic 

beams and the extremely high standard of the 

conversion, the vendors also love its light, airy and

garden to the meadows of the River Usk valley. 

Step Inside:- 

From a central courtyard, a door opens to a stunning 

kitchen/breakfast room, converted from a Nineteenth 

Century farm building added to the original barn. The 

room is open to the A-frame and features exposed 

beams. It has travertine flooring and is fitted with 

stylish, hand-built kitchen units, with maple worktops 

and incorporating a range cooker. 

A door from the kitchen opens to the former 

threshing barn, where a spacious living room 

comprises a cosy seating area in front of a wood 

burning stove opening up to the centre part of the 

barn, which soars up to the full height of the building. 

The former cart doors either side are glazed and on 

one side they incorporate a glazed door which opens 

to the courtyard and provides a formal entrance if 

required. The vendors have made a seating area here, 

from which they can enjoy views of the garden and

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE 

I love where I live… 

Portskewett 

Mortgage consultant Tim Fawcitt, chairman of Portskewett community 

council, tells Sharon Chilcott what makes the village a special place to live… 

I am originally from Hoylake in the Wirral and I lived in 

many different places around the country, before I moved 

here for work 25 years ago. I like Portskewett because it 

is easy-going, welcoming and friendly. If people ask me, 

would I move, the answer is no, and I suppose that’s says 

something about the place. 

When you moved to the area, why did you 

choose Portskewett? 

It was convenient for commuting to Cardiff, where I was 

based. I used to drive there, but it would also be possible 

to travel by train. The nearest station is Caldicot, although 

we have been pushing locally for a station to open here. 

There used to be one, years ago, and with the number of 

new houses being built here, it is on the agenda to try and 

get one reopened. It looks like they are going to succeed in 

doing that, in Magor, so it can happen. 

What makes Portskewett and the 

surrounding area special? 

Its history and heritage. It has an ancient, Grade I listed 

parish church, with parts dating back to the 11th Century. 

There is a local heritage centre in the grounds of the church 

and there is also a museum in the Sudbrook Sports and Social 

Club which shows the history of the area. Just a few examples 

- there are neolithic standing stones on the hillside at Heston 

Brake and at Sudbrook Camp on the banks of the Severn 

Estuary there is a hillfort which was originally occupied by 

Silurian tribes and then by the Romans. When Cromwell 

came to attack Caldicot Castle, he mustered his troops there 

and in World War Two it was a gun emplacement. Sudbrook, 

which is also in our parish, has a fascinating history – most 

of it was built by Thomas Walker to house the workforce 

needed for the Severn rail tunnel, on which construction 

began in 1873. He also built a large pumping station there, to 

pump water from the tunnel. Before the Severn Tunnel was 

built, there was a regular ferry service to Bristol from Black 

Rock, an important crossing point of the River Severn for 

many centuries. 

Is there anything else that makes the area 

special, for you? 

The lovely walks. Black Rock is on the Wales Coast Path 

and a bit further away there’s Wentwood Forest and the Wye 

Valley. 

What, if anything, spoils Portskewett for you? 

When I moved here 25 years ago, the place had more of 

a village feel. Since then, there have been several hundred 

new houses built and there’s been a massive increase in 

traffic and the village school is overcrowded. I took over as 

community council chairman in May and one of the things I

17 

It is easy-going, welcoming and friendly 

would like to do is to try and develop a Place Plan, a way for 

communities to engage with the planning process and help 

steer how they want their community to grow and change. 

One of the things I would like to do, if they build more 

houses, is to obtain a levy to upgrade the recreation hall and 

make it into more of a community hub. 

What sort of people does Portskewett attract? 

A variety but, increasingly, commuters. It’s a nice, safe place to 

bring up a family – the sort of place people look out for each 

other. There’s a Church in Wales Primary School, there are 

several children’s play parks, two football pitches and at the 

recreation hall there are about 11 junior football teams. 

Describe the vibe in your favourite local pub.. 

The Portskewett Inn has always been a friendly community 

pub. 

Where do you go for entertainment? 

Caldicot Castle hosts a range of events, festivals and concerts 

and I go there at least once or twice a year. I also go to Bristol 

or Cardiff for shows and theatre and meals out and if I go to 

the cinema, I would usually go to Cwmbran. 

Where would you book up for a celebratory 

meal? 

Papi’s Bistro in Caldicot is very friendly and the Italian and 

Mediterranean food there is really good. 

Where do you go locally to “blow the cobwebs 

away”? 

I love walking so I would go for a walk along the Wales 

Coast Path or into Wentwood Forest to the old reservoir or 

up Gray Hill, to enjoy the beautiful views. Or I would go to 

the Cornfield, which is a field that a group of local people 

have leased from the council in order to make it into a sport, 

leisure and recreational facility for the community, with 

a wildflower meadow, fruit trees, a track for running and 

walking and exercise stations. 

Apart from walking, what other leisure 

pursuits do you enjoy locally? 

I belong to Sudbrook kayaking club and we go kayaking 

on the River Wye and also in the Severn Estuary. There are 

lots of opportunities for sports and outdoor pursuits around 

here. For example, you can go mountain biking up Gray Hill, 

there is a local football club in Portskewett, a rugby club in 

Caldicot and a cricket club in Sudbrook. There is also the 

David Broome equestrian event centre nearby. 

Where do you tend to shop for groceries? 

For day-to-day supplies I go to the Asda in Caldicot, for 

a dinner party I would go to the M&S Food in Chepstow 

or A &H Jones butchers in Tutshill or Clarke’s butchers in 

Caldicot. 

What’s the social life like in Portskewett? 

The village has a good community spirit. There are various 

classes and coffee mornings at the recreation hall. We 

recently had a free community barbeque at the pub and at 

Christmas we will be organising a grotto in the recreation 

hall and village carols round the Christmas tree on the 

green. Also, the village fun days are always a great success 

and a coming together for the whole community. 

In what ways are you involved in your local 

community? 

I have been on the community council for nearly 20 years 

and I am a member of Sudbrook Sports and Social Club, 

which arranges events and barbeques for the community. 

You’ve already given me a lot of history 

about Portskewett – are there any other 

fascinating facts about the area? 

At Black Rock there is a lovely picnic site where you can see 

a huge oak sculpture called The Fisherman. It’s a celebration 

of the traditional lave net fishermen, men from the local 

villages who would fish for salmon by wading out into the 

Severn Estuary at low tide with special Y-shaped nets. 

Facts and Figures 

The semi-rural village of Portskewett is located on the banks 

of the Severn Estuary in the Gwent Levels. Made up of land 

reclaimed from the sea in Roman times, the Gwent Levels are 

an internationally significant landscape and rich in history 

and wildlife. The Portskewett & Sudbrook Heritage Centre, 

in a former 17th Century cottage in the grounds of Grade 1 

listed St Mary’s Church, interprets the history of Portskewett, 

Sudbrook and Black Rock from neolithic times through to 

the late 19th Century. There are more details here: www. 

portskewett-heritage-centre.net 

The village benefits from a well-respected Church in 

Wales primary school, a doctors’ surgery and pharmacy, a 

convenience store and a local pub, The Portskewett Inn. 

Further shops, facilities and senior schools are nearby, in 

Caldicot, under two miles away and in the historic market 

town of Chepstow, five miles away. The village is ideally 

located for commuting, with easy access to the M4 motorway.

Efficiently managing your VAT liabilities to improve cashflow 

VAT and indirect taxes can become cumbersome for businesses, with evolving rules and complexity. With a 20% rate, VAT significantly impacts cashflow, but there 

are strategies to optimise your VAT position and boost cashflow. 

1. VAT Registration: Any UK business exceeding £85,000 in annual turnover must register for VAT. Registering early offers benefits of being perceived as a 

credible organisation, reclaiming VAT on expenses before payment, and access to schemes like Cash Accounting (for turnovers up to £1.35 million). 

2. VAT Returns: Switching from quarterly to monthly VAT returns can expedite repayments from HMRC. Ensure you have the resources to handle more 

frequent submissions. 

3. VAT Accounting Schemes: HMRC offers various schemes to ease VAT payments for smaller businesses, including Standard VAT Accounting, 

Cash Accounting, Annual Accounting, and the Flat Rate Scheme, which simplifies administration for small businesses. 

4. Sector-Specific Opportunities: Businesses in sectors like hotels, construction, finance, and retail can benefit from VAT opportunities related 

to their activities, including reclaims for cancellation charges, construction services, fund management fees, vouchers, and delivery charges. 

5. Bad Debt Relief Claims: If payments remain unpaid for over 6 months, you can claim back VAT declared and paid on sales from HMRC, 

subject to specific conditions. Note that VAT recovered on unpaid purchases is also repayable to HMRC. 

6. Annual Adjustments: Businesses in sectors with VAT-exempt income or non-business activities must perform VAT partial 

exemption and non-business calculations. Annual adjustments allow you to ‘average’ your recovery over 12 months, potentially 

resulting in additional repayments or payments to HMRC and efficiency savings. 

7. 

Avoiding Late Payment Penalties: Introduce a direct debit arrangement with HMRC for timely VAT collection. Penalties are 

charged based on VAT owed at days 15 and 30, so consider partial payments if full payment isn’t feasible. 

8. OTS Reinstatement: Calls for the reinstatement of the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) have been ongoing since its 

abolition in September 2022. An independent body like OTS could simplify tax procedures and reduce the paperwork 

burden businesses face. 

In case of payment issues, our Banking & Finance specialists offer tax funding services to cover tax costs for up to 12 

months, preserving cashflow, avoiding late payment charges, and ensuring peace of mind. 

If you have questions or need assistance in managing VAT liabilities, contact our VAT team or your Azets advisor. 

We’re here to help.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS 27 

Top tips on how to winter proof your home 

It will only be a matter of weeks before the crisp air and falling leaves herald 

the arrival of autumn and winter will be just around the corner. It’s essential to 

prepare your home for the colder months ahead and this is the case now more 

than ever. Whilst gas and electricity prices will not be as high as last winter, they 

will still be double what they were before Russia invaded Ukraine and experts are 

predicting they will rise again in January 2024. 

Have you done everything that you could do to winter-proof your home? Home 

improvement specialists Glevum have been installing energy-efficient doors and 

windows for nearly 40 years and over this time have picked up a vast amount of 

knowledge around making homes as energy efficient as they can possibly be 

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how Glevum Windows can help you 

winter-proof your home ensuring comfort, energy savings, and a snug ambiance 

throughout the autumn and winter. 

1. Replace your old windows and doors with Energy-Efficient Windows: 

Glevum Windows offers a range of energy-efficient options, such as double-glazed 

and triple-glazed windows. These windows are designed with multiple layers of 

glass that provide enhanced insulation, keeping the cold air out and preventing heat 

from escaping. This results in reduced heating bills (Government estimates state that 

installing A-rated windows and doors can save as much as £155 a year in your energy 

bills) lower carbon footprint and a more comfortable indoor environment. 

9. Consider carpets rather than wood laminate flooring: 

Carpets are the widely recognised more energy-efficient option than wood laminate 

for two reasons – they reduce drafts in the home, but they also have a warmer feel 

when walked on with bare feet, making it less likely that you will feel cold and 

increase the thermostat. 

10. Less hybrid working in the winter: 

Many of us have welcomed hybrid working since COVID. But if you have the option 

to flex when you work from home – look to do it less in the winter months. Working 

from home adds to your energy costs for everything from heating to lighting, to 

microwaves and kettles and of course for some laptops or PCs. 

Many of these tips you may have been aware of – at least to some extent. But 

hopefully, they will still act as a timely and helpful reminder. If the time has come 

for you to consider replacing your windows and doors with new energy-efficient 

ones, then call Glevum on 0800 33 22 55 or visit their website www.glevum.co.uk to 

request your FREE no-obligation quotation. 

2. Change to energy-efficient LED bulbs: 

As the nights draw in, we tend to use more electricity lighting our homes to enhance 

the warm, welcoming feel. Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with LED lighting 

bulbs. LED bulbs use significantly less energy (typically 75% less) and last longer (as 

much as 25 times), making them a cost-effective choice for your home despite the 

fact they are more expensive at the outset. 

3. Consider using plugs for lighting that you can control remotely: 

Plugs and bulbs for your lighting from firms like Kasa are a great way to control 

your lighting and reduce energy use via their app. They can make your home look 

occupied when you are out (if combined with a Kasa camera – you can even turn 

on lights or radio when your house is approached by somebody you don’t know) 

and give you ultimate control – for example turning upstairs lights off when you are 

downstairs. 

4. Check how much loft insulation you have: 

In the 1980’s it was quite standard to install any thickness from 25mm to 50mm. 

Then, building regulations stated that homes should have as much as 100mm of loft 

insulation. This gradually increased to 200mm and now stands at 270mm for new 

builds. Not only will this reduce your heat loss and reduce the amount of energy you 

use, but like many of the steps we outline here it could improve your home’s energy 

rating improving its price and saleability. 

5. Keep an eye on your thermostat: 

If for example you usually heat your home to 20 degrees and you turn it down to 

say 19 degrees, could save as much as 13% on your energy bill. Also, turn it down 

further when you are out of the home for any extended period. Also, when you next 

upgrade your boiler, try to go for one that allows you to control it via an app on your 

phone. That way for example if you are out of your home for say 8 hours, you can 

turn it down even lower, but turn it back up to where you want it by the time you 

return home. 

6. Embrace Natural Solar Heat: 

Glevum Windows’ innovative designs allow you to harness the power of natural solar 

heat during the winter months. Their windows are engineered to maximize solar gain, 

capturing sunlight, and converting it into warmth for your home. This eco-friendly 

approach not only reduces heating costs but also contributes to a greener lifestyle. 

7. Invest in Energy-Efficient Appliances: 

When it’s time to replace your appliances, opt for the most energy-efficient models 

your budget can get. These appliances are designed to consume less electricity, which 

can lead to substantial energy savings over time. Saving a few pounds on the purchase 

price in the first instance can cost you a lot more in the long run. 

8. Shorter showers in the winter: 

A 10-minute shower costs in the region of 50p. Reduce that to 5 minutes and you 

could save 24p. For a household of 4 over the three worst months of winter, this 

could save you £90 a year.
