🏡 Mortgage & Interest Rate Update 📉

A lot of people are asking what’s happening with interest rates at the moment, so here’s a simple update 👇

The Bank of England has decided to HOLD the base rate at 3.75% for now.

Inflation is still sitting above the 2% target, mainly due to rising global energy prices, but the economy is also slowing down which means the Bank is trying to balance controlling inflation without putting too much pressure on households and businesses.

What does this mean for mortgages?

✔️ We’re likely to see a “higher for longer” environment rather than sudden big rate drops

✔️ Mortgage rates may continue to fluctuate depending on inflation data

✔️ Stability is currently more likely than dramatic changes

✔️ Lenders are still repricing regularly, so timing and advice matter more than ever

The good news:

We are NOT currently seeing signs of a return to the extreme inflation and rate shocks we experienced in 2022.

If your fixed rate is ending soon, or you’re unsure whether to secure a deal now or wait, it’s worth having a review early rather than leaving it until the last minute.

As always, everyone’s situation is different, and the right advice depends on your personal circumstances 🏠

Feel free to message us if you’d like to review your options or simply understand what the current market means for you.

The Bank of England has held interest rates at 3.75%

But here’s the real question.

What does this actually mean for YOU if you're buying or remortgaging right now?

With ongoing global uncertainty, rates haven’t dropped like many expected.

And right now, I’m seeing a lot of people stuck, waiting.

Be honest what are you doing right now?

A️ Waiting for rates to drop before buying

B️ Moving ahead anyway and securing a deal now

C️ Unsure what the right move is

D️ Already in the process / remortgaging

👉 Comment A, B, C or D..... I’ll tell you what I’d do in your position.

Quick reality check:

• Waiting might cost you more if property prices rise

• Rates dropping isn’t guaranteed anytime soon

• The right deal now can often be adjusted later

If you want clarity instead of guessing, message me “RATE” and I’ll break it down for your situation.
