Current Mortgage and Interest Rates Overview
As of now, the Bank of England’s Base Rate is 5.25%, held steady since August 2023. Recent trends show a decline in average mortgage rates, largely due to increased competition among lenders. Notably, the average rate for a five-year fixed mortgage is currently 4.88%, while the two-year fixed rate stands at 5.27%. These figures reflect a decrease from the previous week’s rates, indicating a favorable trend for borrowers.
