Bank of England cuts base rate: what does this mean for mortgages?<\/h3>\n

“The cost of a mortgage is not directly set by the Bank of England official base rate. Lenders mainly source their finance for fixed rate mortgages in the money markets. The cost of this money is influenced by the expected direction of base rates, amongst other things.<\/p>\n

Mortgage rates of 4-5%, while higher than the ultra low rates of 2019-2021, are becoming\u00a0more manageable\u00a0for home buyers. This is demonstrated by more sellers and more sales being agreed. Further growth in household incomes will help\u00a0improve affordability, especially as we expect incomes to rise faster than house prices over the next 18 months”…<\/p>\n
