Financial facts – The Official Gazette of Real Estate Finance – Z News

Moneyfacts found the average fix is ​​two years Decreased by 2 basis points to 5.73%, while the typical five-year fixing rate fell by a basis point to 5.66%.

The most significant decline was in loan-to-value lending, where the average two-year 90% fixed rate fell by 4 basis points from 6.04% to 6%. The equivalent five-year fixed interest rate decreased by 7 basis points from 5.87% to 5.8%.

Adam French, head of consumer finance at Moneyfacts, said: “Average mortgage interest rates have fallen again this week as major lenders continue to compete despite uncertainty over inflation, funding costs and the future direction of the Bank of England’s base interest rate.”

“A total of 27 mortgage lenders made notable changes this week. Ten lenders reduced their cap rates, 13 increased rates, and nine launched new or updated products.”

“Recent changes may also indicate that some lenders are seeking growth by targeting more niche segments of borrowers rather than widespread, mainstream repricing.

“The shifting regional impacts of higher mortgage interest rates also became more apparent this week. Higher borrowing costs are putting much greater pressure on higher-priced southern housing markets, while lower median property values ​​in northern regions have helped cushion some of the affordability shock.”
