Mortgage rates in the UK have reached their lowest levels since the end of September 2022, providing relief for homeowners and potential buyers. NatWest is now offering a five-year fixed rate of 3.83%, the lowest since September 2022. Following a cut in the Bank of England's base rate from 5.25% to 5%, seven of the ten largest lenders have introduced fixed-rate deals below 4%. Mark Harris, chief executive of SPF Private Clients, noted: "With the base rate now cut and fixed rates falling, there is a greater desire to move." |
