In a very surprising move, TSB lower mortgage rates across their residential, buy-to-let and product transfer product offerings. This means that both new borrowers and existing TSB loan owners can get a lower rate with the Edinburgh based lender through specialist mortgage advisors like Oportfolio mortgages. So why are these lower mortgage rates from TSB so surprising? Well over the last couple of weeks, the exact opposite has been happening with most lenders in the UK market.
UK Mortgage Rates In General and TSB Lower Mortgage Rates
Over the last few weeks the UK mortgage market has definitely gone in the wrong direction. After the mini budget announcement at the end of 2022 and the subsequent initial rate hike, it seemed that most lenders had settled back down and almost every day banks and building societies were reducing their rates. However, after the office of national statistics announced that the drop on UK inflation had not been as significant as we had hoped, most lenders panicked and started to withdraw products and bump up their rates again.
As they always have historically, rates will come back down again when inflation is under control and the base rate comes down. But these recent rate rises definitely rattled a few cages with borrowers and brokers alike. That is why these newly announced rate reductions from TSB have gotten us all excited at Oportfolio mortgages!
