BASE RATE INCREASE

 Bank of England increase base rate from 4.25% to 4.50%.

See what the recent announcement means for mortgages below:

👉🏼 𝐅𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: payments WON’T change. Payments remain the same until your product expires. If your current deal ends within 6 months, it is a good idea to review your mortgage soon to avoid a potential high SVR 👇🏼

👉🏼 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞 (𝐒𝐕𝐑) 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: following the end of a fixed mortgage you’ll revert to the SVR. Interest rates rise and fall at the lenders discretion. Your payments may go up making it harder to budget.

👉🏼 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: payments go up if the lender increases their SVR; discount mortgages provide a ‘discount’ off the SVR for a certain period of time.

👉🏼 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: payments WILL go up as tracker mortgages ‘track’ the Bank of England base rate.
