If your fixed mortgage deal ends in 2026, waiting until the last minute could cost you. ⏰
Around 1.8 million UK fixed-rate deals are due to expire this year : while sub-4% mortgages have almost disappeared. With the Bank of England base rate held at 3.75% for five consecutive meetings, the market is still shifting.
What happens if you leave it too late?
🏠 You could move onto your lender’s Standard Variable Rate, which may be significantly more expensive.
📉 Fewer competitive deals may be available when you need one.
💷 Your monthly repayments could increase unexpectedly.
The good news? You may be able to secure a new rate before your current deal ends, giving you time to compare your options and avoid a last-minute scramble.
As whole-of-market mortgage advisers, we can search deals that may not be available if you approach just one bank directly. We’ll also handle the paperwork, helping to make the process as stress-free as possible.
If you’re in Woking, Camberley or Guildford and your fixed rate ends in 2026, now is the time to start planning : ideally before Christmas. 🎄
