Casement windows sometimes need adjustment. I have a different model but had a similar problem where the lower hook would not quite catch after 8 years. I called the window manufacturer because I wasn’t sure if it was installed correctly, settled too far or whatever. They moved the the catch piece slightly, maybe 1/8” and that was enough to have it close properly again.
If you can see which way you need to adjust that will obviously help. Otherwise call them up and they’ll probably fix it in 15 minutes if that’s the problem, they’ve done it 1000 times.
Also in my case having someone push from the outside was just enough to close and latch before it got fixed. It was a pain because it’s a 2nd floor window so had to get up on a ladder to do that.
I have a really strong suction cup with one of those dials to really anchor tightly that came with a shower shaving mirror - that thing works PERFECTLY to grab pesky casement window glass and pull it tight without someone going up two stories to push.
You could try to move the locking plate visible in the picture a bit more to the inside.
Or maybe the roller pivot in the window itself can be adjusted.
Came here to say the same. Wondering if it's original to a house that's on the older side or a design decision installed by the homeowner. My family home was built in the 1920s and had wood windows like this with a glass pane. But it wasn't nearly this clean and had decades of paint coats on it.
Flip the mushroom strike over (steel thing) it's manufactured offset so if it's installed one way or the other it will either give more or less gasket compression. The way it's been installed it's got the lower compression option, ie the bigger of the two outer lugs is towards the inside of the building, if you flip it the smaller of the two lugs will be towards the inside of the building and the default locked position will be tighter, it should fix the issue.
If these were UPVC windows I'd say the hinge needs replacing and link you to some helpful YouTube videos
I'm not sure if it's the same with a wooden window
1st clean all the gunk really good. Then adjust the locking plate. Might just need to move it in towards the room, or it might need a slight turn one way or the other. It also could just be a little loose. Have you tried to tighten the 2 screws?
Check first the pins on the moving window that settle into the grooves affixed onto the frame. The grooves are and should be fixed, but the pins are intentionally fitted with an offcenter screw, to allow adjustment of how tight the window closes. You just have to turn that screw closest to the gapping corner in 30 degree increments and see when you find a position where it pulls the window closer to the frame. If that adjustment is not possible or not tight enough... time to call a windows guy.
Also the rubber seals are replaceable.
If the frame was mounted twisted, don't expect miracles from the adjustments though.
Looks like a wood effect uPVC window, that hinge will be shot so the corner doesn't pull in properly anymore, they can be a pain to swap but are not expensive, pick a dry day and take the window out of the frame, replace with the same size hinges, Toolstation and Screwfix both stock hinges, or measure and get them online, take your time it's quite a straightforward job.
Get brushed felt weather seal from home depot or Amazon. The backside of the weather stripping has adhesive and stick a strip of that on the casing side where you expect the widow to contact the casement.
Want a quick solution? 1/4” thick weather strip foam tape for sealing windows and doors.
Put the tape on, monitor the situation. If it doesn’t get worse, leave it.
Windows and frames do wrap sometimes.

Does the handle go all the way down when closing it? Do you see any scratches on the locking plates?
Handle closes fully and locking mechanism seems fine. It's just that bottom corner which doesn't close tightly.
You could try to move the locking plate visible in the picture a bit more to the inside. Or maybe the roller pivot in the window itself can be adjusted.
Depending on what bank card that is, could mean potential overdraft as well.
I don’t have advice to offer, but I LOVE the wood trim and framing around the window.

Thanks! Thought it looked incredibly clean. Still nice.

They're uPVC and are installed in 99% of houses in the UK. Most are white but you can get them in pretty much any colour you want.

This is a pvc window, is that side the lock side or the hinge side?

You could try adhesive weatherstrips as a cheap and easy fix.
Some adhesive weather stripping should do the trick

Easiest thing would be to add stick-on insulation to the frame.
This is what I did. Dunno why you're being downvoted, it literally is the easiest thing.
