Bank Rate is 3.75%. That doesn't mean your mortgage rate is 3.75%.
It's an easy assumption to make, especially when Bank of England decisions dominate the headlines.
But lenders price fixed mortgages using a much wider set of factors, including expectations about where interest rates may go next, their own funding costs and competition across the mortgage market.
That's why mortgage rates can sometimes fall before Bank Rate is cut, or rise even when the Bank of England leaves rates unchanged.
For borrowers, the important thing is not to make a decision based on one headline number: Look at the products available to you, the monthly cost, the fees involved and how the mortgage fits your plans.
