Why your mortgage rate isn’t just about the Base Rate 👀
The Base Rate matters, but fixed rates are driven by market expectations, especially swap rates 📊
If inflation looks stubborn or global uncertainty rises, markets may expect fewer rate cuts, which can push rates higher 📈
That’s why fixed rates often move before the Base Rate changes, as pricing adjusts ahead of time
The takeaway 👇
If you’re remortgaging, don’t just watch the headlines. Secure early and keep the option to switch if rates improve 🔄
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
