The Monetary Policy Committee has voted 6-3 to increase the base rate to 3.5%. Rising by 0.5% from the previous rate of 3%, the cost of borrowing has become even more expensive. Whilst the rate hike is to tackle inflation, it also increases mortgage rates, which is bad news for borrowers. We understand how worrying this further increase is and are here to help with your mortgage concerns.
What should you do?
Get in touch with our mortgage brokers for advice on your mortgage deal. If you have a fixed-term mortgage that’s coming to an end, we can secure a new deal for you up to 6 months before the end of that term. Fixed-rate deals currently have higher rates than they did 18 months ago. But refinancing to a new fixed-rate deal as soon as you can helps to avoid paying an even higher rate if a new deal isn’t secured until the end of the term.
If you have a variable rate mortgage, it will be affected by the new rate increase so call us to discuss switching to a better deal. Our mortgage brokers can check your existing deal and search the market for the most competitive alternatives available. Interest rates are expected to continue rising so it’s recommended to remortgage sooner rather than later. This ensures that you avoid having to make higher monthly mortgage payments than necessary in the future.
