How These Numbers Affect You
A) Financing & Mortgage
Is getting a mortgage easier or more competitive now? Will my monthly payment drop?
The combination of an unchanged base rate and a steady five-year fixed average suggests the mortgage market is stabilising after earlier volatility. Lenders appear to be keeping rates competitive but cautious.
First-Time Buyers: indicates borrowing conditions are steady, allowing better planning of monthly budgets.
Investors: suggests consistent financing costs that help maintain predictable yields on leveraged assets.
If I already have a mortgage, is now a good time to remortgage or wait?
Current fixed deals are broadly aligned with the three-month average, indicating limited near-term movement. Stability rather than rapid decline defines this phase.
