2 NEWS<br />
Have mortgage rates now peaked?<br />
Following the Bank of England’s decision last week to freeze interest rates for the first time in 15 months,<br />
Sarah Thompson, Managing Director at Mortgage Scout, looks at the possibility of the base rate falling<br />
significantly in the future.<br />
Since the Bank of England base rate started making large jumps around<br />
the middle of last year, mortgage rates have increased significantly from<br />
the historic lows that borrowers had enjoyed since early 2015, when the<br />
average two-year fixed rate dropped below 2% and the average fiveyear<br />
fixed went sub-3%.<br />
By the autumn of 2021, average two-year fixed mortgages were just 1.2%, with some<br />
borrowers able to access a rate of below 1%, and average five-year fixed rates were<br />
less than 1.3%.<br />
But in December 2021, the bank rate started to rise from its all-time low of 0.1% and<br />
mortgage interest rates followed suit, as is the norm. Some mortgage rates spiked<br />
to over 6% following the Conservatives’ disastrous mini-budget last September,<br />
although they did start to fall again once Rishi Sunak took over as leader.<br />
By the time we entered 2023, the average two-year fixed mortgage rate was just under<br />
5.8% and the Bank Rate stood at 3.5% with experts predicting further increases<br />
before the summer.<br />
What’s happened to mortgage interest rates so far this year?<br />
At the start of the year, even with the bank rate rising and inflation still high,<br />
mortgage rates continued their steady decline from the November 2022 peak. In<br />
February, two and five-year fixed rates were 5.44% and 5.2% respectively, then in<br />
March, those figures dropped to 5.32% and 5%.<br />
But by May, as repeated base rate increases failed to have an impact on inflation,<br />
lenders began to backtrack and in mid-June, the average two-year fixed mortgage rate<br />
rose to over 6%.<br />
Individual rates have started to come down again<br />
However, that is just an average figure, and the good news is that individual rates<br />
have started to come down again, mainly thanks to significant falls in the rate of<br />
inflation, which is now expected to reduce to 5% by the end of this year and then<br />
reach the target of 2% by the start of 2025.<br />
In July, HSBC became the first high street lender to announce that it was making<br />
some cuts to its fixed-rate products, with other major lenders – including<br />
Nationwide, Barclays and Virgin Money - following suit over the next month. As<br />
it stands in September, first-time buyers can access five-year fixed rates at well<br />
under 6% and two or three-year fixed products at slightly above 6%.<br />
Five-year rates are lower than two-year rates<br />
It’s worth noting that it’s fairly unusual for a five-year rate to be lower than a twoyear<br />
one, as has been the case for around a year now. This is the strongest possible<br />
indication that lenders do believe the base rate will fall significantly in the future.<br />
Despite a 14th consecutive increase at the start of August, to 5.25% we have<br />
now, as of 21 September, seen the first freeze in 15 months. Capital Economics<br />
had previously predicted that rates would peak at 5.5%, lower than previously<br />
forecast and so perhaps this will never be materialised. This is likely to be<br />
followed by continuing falls in mortgage rates, which is good news for borrowers.<br />
Speak to a broker<br />
There are so many variables to consider, that if you want to buy or need to<br />
remortgage this year, we think it’s well worth talking to a mortgage broker sooner<br />
rather than later, allowing at least six months to go through the remortgage<br />
process.<br />
Mortgage applications can be held up if documents are missing, so make sure you<br />
gather what is required and provide them with all the necessary information as<br />
soon as possible.

Energy efficiency grows in popularity<br />
despite government U-turn<br />
Last week, Rishi Sunak confirming rumours that the government was set to ‘soften’ several key green<br />
policies, including minimum EPC standards for rental properties, but new research shows that energy<br />
efficiency is of growing importance amongst prospective homebuyers.<br />
In his speech, Rishi Sunak said that the costs of upgrading homes were huge and<br />
likely to be passed on as higher rents for tenants. Instead, the Government will offer<br />
money as an incentive to landlords and homeowners to upgrade their properties,<br />
with EPC changes that were due to go live for existing tenancies in 2028 now<br />
scrapped.<br />
However, despite the loss of these long-awaited minimum energy efficiency targets,<br />
new research conducted by the Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) shows that almost<br />
three in four (74%) prospective homebuyers recognise a home with an Energy<br />
Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of an A or B as more attractive than less energy<br />
efficient properties.<br />
MAB believes this is largely driven by the desire to reduce household running costs,<br />
as the UK grapples with the ongoing cost of living crisis and concerns that costs will<br />
remain elevated.<br />
Of those surveyed (1,001), 51% said they are considering a home with a higher<br />
EPC rating to reduce overall utility bills, with 36% looking to keep warmer in<br />
winter for less. 32% are considering a higher EPC rated property to potentially<br />
reduce their mortgage repayments though green mortgages, and 33% are already<br />
thinking about their next step in terms of buying a higher rated property, since this<br />
Llanfoist to Abergavenny Active Travel bridge<br />
The works comprise of earthworks for the south ramp only initially, on the<br />
Llanfoist side of the River Usk and will take approximately four weeks to complete.<br />
These establishment works will be carried out by the Monmouthshire County<br />
Council’s operations team. Access to the bank will be maintained.<br />
Construction will be paused over winter, after which the remaining elements of<br />
this ramp, the northside ramp and the main bridge structure will be constructed<br />
next year. It is currently planned to be completed by December 2024.<br />
This work does not include any routes within Castle Meadows this year. The<br />
planning application for the Castle Meadows paths will be considered at the<br />
October planning meeting at Monmouthshire County Council.<br />
For further information on the Llanfoist to Abergavenny Active Travel scheme,<br />
please see:https://www.monlife.co.uk/castle-meadows-faq/<br />
could add value when it’s time to move out.<br />
Meanwhile, over a third (36%) of potential homebuyers are considering a higher EPC<br />
rated property to be more eco-friendly and reduce their impact on the environment.<br />
Commenting on these findings, Ben Thompson, deputy CEO at MAB, has<br />
said:<br />
“The high energy costs we’ve experienced in the UK over the past couple of years<br />
have hit many people’s finances, stretching budgets to the limit. As a result, any<br />
means to cut back on spending, particularly on energy bills, has become a bigger<br />
priority for prospective homebuyers.<br />
“As our findings show, mortgage payments are also a central concern to prospective<br />
homebuyers. However, the good news is that opting for a higher EPC rated property<br />
could make you more likely to be entitled to a green mortgage scheme.<br />
“These plans reward homeowners for buying or owning an energy efficient home - for<br />
example, with potentially lower interest rates on mortgage payments, or incentives<br />
such as cashback. If this is something you are interested in, it’s essential to speak to a<br />
mortgage adviser, who will be able to establish whether a green mortgage would suit<br />
your needs.”<br />
works commences<br />
As part of the Welsh Government Active Travel funding awarded in 2023/24, phase 1 construction on the<br />
Llanfoist to Abergavenny Active Travel bridge commenced on Monday 18th September, 2023.<br />

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE<br />
I love where I live…<br />
Portskewett<br />
Mortgage consultant Tim Fawcitt, chairman of Portskewett community<br />
council, tells Sharon Chilcott what makes the village a special place to live…<br />
I am originally from Hoylake in the Wirral and I lived in<br />
many different places around the country, before I moved<br />
here for work 25 years ago. I like Portskewett because it<br />
is easy-going, welcoming and friendly. If people ask me,<br />
would I move, the answer is no, and I suppose that’s says<br />
something about the place.<br />
When you moved to the area, why did you<br />
choose Portskewett?<br />
It was convenient for commuting to Cardiff, where I was<br />
based. I used to drive there, but it would also be possible<br />
to travel by train. The nearest station is Caldicot, although<br />
we have been pushing locally for a station to open here.<br />
There used to be one, years ago, and with the number of<br />
new houses being built here, it is on the agenda to try and<br />
get one reopened. It looks like they are going to succeed in<br />
doing that, in Magor, so it can happen.<br />
What makes Portskewett and the<br />
surrounding area special?<br />
Its history and heritage. It has an ancient, Grade I listed<br />
parish church, with parts dating back to the 11th Century.<br />
There is a local heritage centre in the grounds of the church<br />
and there is also a museum in the Sudbrook Sports and Social<br />
Club which shows the history of the area. Just a few examples<br />
- there are neolithic standing stones on the hillside at Heston<br />
Brake and at Sudbrook Camp on the banks of the Severn<br />
Estuary there is a hillfort which was originally occupied by<br />
Silurian tribes and then by the Romans. When Cromwell<br />
came to attack Caldicot Castle, he mustered his troops there<br />
and in World War Two it was a gun emplacement. Sudbrook,<br />
which is also in our parish, has a fascinating history – most<br />
of it was built by Thomas Walker to house the workforce<br />
needed for the Severn rail tunnel, on which construction<br />
began in 1873. He also built a large pumping station there, to<br />
pump water from the tunnel. Before the Severn Tunnel was<br />
built, there was a regular ferry service to Bristol from Black<br />
Rock, an important crossing point of the River Severn for<br />
many centuries.<br />
Is there anything else that makes the area<br />
special, for you?<br />
The lovely walks. Black Rock is on the Wales Coast Path<br />
and a bit further away there’s Wentwood Forest and the Wye<br />
Valley.<br />
What, if anything, spoils Portskewett for you?<br />
When I moved here 25 years ago, the place had more of<br />
a village feel. Since then, there have been several hundred<br />
new houses built and there’s been a massive increase in<br />
traffic and the village school is overcrowded. I took over as<br />
community council chairman in May and one of the things I
17<br />
It is easy-going, welcoming and friendly<br />
would like to do is to try and develop a Place Plan, a way for<br />
communities to engage with the planning process and help<br />
steer how they want their community to grow and change.<br />
One of the things I would like to do, if they build more<br />
houses, is to obtain a levy to upgrade the recreation hall and<br />
make it into more of a community hub.<br />
What sort of people does Portskewett attract?<br />
A variety but, increasingly, commuters. It’s a nice, safe place to<br />
bring up a family – the sort of place people look out for each<br />
other. There’s a Church in Wales Primary School, there are<br />
several children’s play parks, two football pitches and at the<br />
recreation hall there are about 11 junior football teams.<br />
Describe the vibe in your favourite local pub..<br />
The Portskewett Inn has always been a friendly community<br />
pub.<br />
Where do you go for entertainment?<br />
Caldicot Castle hosts a range of events, festivals and concerts<br />
and I go there at least once or twice a year. I also go to Bristol<br />
or Cardiff for shows and theatre and meals out and if I go to<br />
the cinema, I would usually go to Cwmbran.<br />
Where would you book up for a celebratory<br />
meal?<br />
Papi’s Bistro in Caldicot is very friendly and the Italian and<br />
Mediterranean food there is really good.<br />
Where do you go locally to “blow the cobwebs<br />
away”?<br />
I love walking so I would go for a walk along the Wales<br />
Coast Path or into Wentwood Forest to the old reservoir or<br />
up Gray Hill, to enjoy the beautiful views. Or I would go to<br />
the Cornfield, which is a field that a group of local people<br />
have leased from the council in order to make it into a sport,<br />
leisure and recreational facility for the community, with<br />
a wildflower meadow, fruit trees, a track for running and<br />
walking and exercise stations.<br />
Apart from walking, what other leisure<br />
pursuits do you enjoy locally?<br />
I belong to Sudbrook kayaking club and we go kayaking<br />
on the River Wye and also in the Severn Estuary. There are<br />
lots of opportunities for sports and outdoor pursuits around<br />
here. For example, you can go mountain biking up Gray Hill,<br />
there is a local football club in Portskewett, a rugby club in<br />
Caldicot and a cricket club in Sudbrook. There is also the<br />
David Broome equestrian event centre nearby.<br />
Where do you tend to shop for groceries?<br />
For day-to-day supplies I go to the Asda in Caldicot, for<br />
a dinner party I would go to the M&S Food in Chepstow<br />
or A &H Jones butchers in Tutshill or Clarke’s butchers in<br />
Caldicot.<br />
What’s the social life like in Portskewett?<br />
The village has a good community spirit. There are various<br />
classes and coffee mornings at the recreation hall. We<br />
recently had a free community barbeque at the pub and at<br />
Christmas we will be organising a grotto in the recreation<br />
hall and village carols round the Christmas tree on the<br />
green. Also, the village fun days are always a great success<br />
and a coming together for the whole community.<br />
In what ways are you involved in your local<br />
community?<br />
I have been on the community council for nearly 20 years<br />
and I am a member of Sudbrook Sports and Social Club,<br />
which arranges events and barbeques for the community.<br />
You’ve already given me a lot of history<br />
about Portskewett – are there any other<br />
fascinating facts about the area?<br />
At Black Rock there is a lovely picnic site where you can see<br />
a huge oak sculpture called The Fisherman. It’s a celebration<br />
of the traditional lave net fishermen, men from the local<br />
villages who would fish for salmon by wading out into the<br />
Severn Estuary at low tide with special Y-shaped nets.<br />
Facts and Figures<br />
The semi-rural village of Portskewett is located on the banks<br />
of the Severn Estuary in the Gwent Levels. Made up of land<br />
reclaimed from the sea in Roman times, the Gwent Levels are<br />
an internationally significant landscape and rich in history<br />
and wildlife. The Portskewett & Sudbrook Heritage Centre,<br />
in a former 17th Century cottage in the grounds of Grade 1<br />
listed St Mary’s Church, interprets the history of Portskewett,<br />
Sudbrook and Black Rock from neolithic times through to<br />
the late 19th Century. There are more details here: www.<br />
portskewett-heritage-centre.net<br />
The village benefits from a well-respected Church in<br />
Wales primary school, a doctors’ surgery and pharmacy, a<br />
convenience store and a local pub, The Portskewett Inn.<br />
Further shops, facilities and senior schools are nearby, in<br />
Caldicot, under two miles away and in the historic market<br />
town of Chepstow, five miles away. The village is ideally<br />
located for commuting, with easy access to the M4 motorway.<br />

Efficiently managing your VAT liabilities to improve cashflow<br />
VAT and indirect taxes can become cumbersome for businesses, with evolving rules and complexity. With a 20% rate, VAT significantly impacts cashflow, but there<br />
are strategies to optimise your VAT position and boost cashflow.<br />
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<br />
credible organisation, reclaiming VAT on expenses before payment, and access to schemes like Cash Accounting (for turnovers up to £1.35 million).<br />
2. VAT Returns: Switching from quarterly to monthly VAT returns can expedite repayments from HMRC. Ensure you have the resources to handle more<br />
frequent submissions.<br />
3. VAT Accounting Schemes: HMRC offers various schemes to ease VAT payments for smaller businesses, including Standard VAT Accounting,<br />
Cash Accounting, Annual Accounting, and the Flat Rate Scheme, which simplifies administration for small businesses.<br />
4. Sector-Specific Opportunities: Businesses in sectors like hotels, construction, finance, and retail can benefit from VAT opportunities related<br />
to their activities, including reclaims for cancellation charges, construction services, fund management fees, vouchers, and delivery charges.<br />
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,<br />
subject to specific conditions. Note that VAT recovered on unpaid purchases is also repayable to HMRC.<br />
6. Annual Adjustments: Businesses in sectors with VAT-exempt income or non-business activities must perform VAT partial<br />
exemption and non-business calculations. Annual adjustments allow you to ‘average’ your recovery over 12 months, potentially<br />
resulting in additional repayments or payments to HMRC and efficiency savings.<br />
7.<br />
Avoiding Late Payment Penalties: Introduce a direct debit arrangement with HMRC for timely VAT collection. Penalties are<br />
charged based on VAT owed at days 15 and 30, so consider partial payments if full payment isn’t feasible.<br />
8. OTS Reinstatement: Calls for the reinstatement of the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) have been ongoing since its<br />
abolition in September 2022. An independent body like OTS could simplify tax procedures and reduce the paperwork<br />
burden businesses face.<br />
In case of payment issues, our Banking & Finance specialists offer tax funding services to cover tax costs for up to 12<br />
months, preserving cashflow, avoiding late payment charges, and ensuring peace of mind.<br />
If you have questions or need assistance in managing VAT liabilities, contact our VAT team or your Azets advisor.<br />
We’re here to help.<br />

HOME IMPROVEMENTS 27<br />
Top tips on how to winter proof your home<br />
It will only be a matter of weeks before the crisp air and falling leaves herald<br />
the arrival of autumn and winter will be just around the corner. It’s essential to<br />
prepare your home for the colder months ahead and this is the case now more<br />
than ever. Whilst gas and electricity prices will not be as high as last winter, they<br />
will still be double what they were before Russia invaded Ukraine and experts are<br />
predicting they will rise again in January 2024.<br />
Have you done everything that you could do to winter-proof your home? Home<br />
improvement specialists Glevum have been installing energy-efficient doors and<br />
windows for nearly 40 years and over this time have picked up a vast amount of<br />
knowledge around making homes as energy efficient as they can possibly be<br />
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how Glevum Windows can help you<br />
winter-proof your home ensuring comfort, energy savings, and a snug ambiance<br />
throughout the autumn and winter.<br />
1. Replace your old windows and doors with Energy-Efficient Windows:<br />
Glevum Windows offers a range of energy-efficient options, such as double-glazed<br />
and triple-glazed windows. These windows are designed with multiple layers of<br />
glass that provide enhanced insulation, keeping the cold air out and preventing heat<br />
from escaping. This results in reduced heating bills (Government estimates state that<br />
installing A-rated windows and doors can save as much as £155 a year in your energy<br />
bills) lower carbon footprint and a more comfortable indoor environment.<br />
9. Consider carpets rather than wood laminate flooring:<br />
Carpets are the widely recognised more energy-efficient option than wood laminate<br />
for two reasons – they reduce drafts in the home, but they also have a warmer feel<br />
when walked on with bare feet, making it less likely that you will feel cold and<br />
increase the thermostat.<br />
10. Less hybrid working in the winter:<br />
Many of us have welcomed hybrid working since COVID. But if you have the option<br />
to flex when you work from home – look to do it less in the winter months. Working<br />
from home adds to your energy costs for everything from heating to lighting, to<br />
microwaves and kettles and of course for some laptops or PCs.<br />
Many of these tips you may have been aware of – at least to some extent. But<br />
hopefully, they will still act as a timely and helpful reminder. If the time has come<br />
for you to consider replacing your windows and doors with new energy-efficient<br />
ones, then call Glevum on 0800 33 22 55 or visit their website www.glevum.co.uk to<br />
request your FREE no-obligation quotation.<br />
2. Change to energy-efficient LED bulbs:<br />
As the nights draw in, we tend to use more electricity lighting our homes to enhance<br />
the warm, welcoming feel. Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with LED lighting<br />
bulbs. LED bulbs use significantly less energy (typically 75% less) and last longer (as<br />
much as 25 times), making them a cost-effective choice for your home despite the<br />
fact they are more expensive at the outset.<br />
3. Consider using plugs for lighting that you can control remotely:<br />
Plugs and bulbs for your lighting from firms like Kasa are a great way to control<br />
your lighting and reduce energy use via their app. They can make your home look<br />
occupied when you are out (if combined with a Kasa camera – you can even turn<br />
on lights or radio when your house is approached by somebody you don’t know)<br />
and give you ultimate control – for example turning upstairs lights off when you are<br />
downstairs.<br />
4. Check how much loft insulation you have:<br />
In the 1980’s it was quite standard to install any thickness from 25mm to 50mm.<br />
Then, building regulations stated that homes should have as much as 100mm of loft<br />
insulation. This gradually increased to 200mm and now stands at 270mm for new<br />
builds. Not only will this reduce your heat loss and reduce the amount of energy you<br />
use, but like many of the steps we outline here it could improve your home’s energy<br />
rating improving its price and saleability.<br />
5. Keep an eye on your thermostat:<br />
If for example you usually heat your home to 20 degrees and you turn it down to<br />
say 19 degrees, could save as much as 13% on your energy bill. Also, turn it down<br />
further when you are out of the home for any extended period. Also, when you next<br />
upgrade your boiler, try to go for one that allows you to control it via an app on your<br />
phone. That way for example if you are out of your home for say 8 hours, you can<br />
turn it down even lower, but turn it back up to where you want it by the time you<br />
return home.<br />
6. Embrace Natural Solar Heat:<br />
Glevum Windows’ innovative designs allow you to harness the power of natural solar<br />
heat during the winter months. Their windows are engineered to maximize solar gain,<br />
capturing sunlight, and converting it into warmth for your home. This eco-friendly<br />
approach not only reduces heating costs but also contributes to a greener lifestyle.<br />
7. Invest in Energy-Efficient Appliances:<br />
When it’s time to replace your appliances, opt for the most energy-efficient models<br />
your budget can get. These appliances are designed to consume less electricity, which<br />
can lead to substantial energy savings over time. Saving a few pounds on the purchase<br />
price in the first instance can cost you a lot more in the long run.<br />
8. Shorter showers in the winter:<br />
A 10-minute shower costs in the region of 50p. Reduce that to 5 minutes and you<br />
could save 24p. For a household of 4 over the three worst months of winter, this<br />
could save you £90 a year.
