According to the company, financial services firms ought to pass on interest rate cuts as they are introduced by the Bank of England in order to breathe life back in to the property market.

"The continued, overly cautious approach now being employed by lenders is having a detrimental impact on the market," said Charles Warsdell, Moveme.com’s director.

"It will be interesting to see how long lenders can hold out before their current stance brings about their own downfall," he added.
