UK Two-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates (Source: Moneyfacts)
In a somewhat concerning development for prospective home buyers and existing borrowers, two-year fixed mortgage rates in the UK have climbed to their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. Also surpassing the peak at the release of the mini-budget. Recent data from financial information provider Moneyfacts reveals that the average rate has surged to 6.66%, up from 6.63%. This increase has pushed the cost of two-year mortgages slightly above the peak of 6.65% reached last autumn, highlighting the challenges faced by borrowers in the current market. However, there is hope for those seeking a good rate, as Oportfolio mortgage advisors stand ready to provide expert guidance and assistance.
Rising UK Two-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates and Market Challenges
The mortgage market in the UK has witnessed a notable upward trend in interest rates recently, causing concerns among homebuyers and homeowners looking to remortgage. The average five-year fixed mortgage rate also experienced an increase, rising to 6.17%, the highest since October 2023, from 6.13% just a day prior.
Just this morning, mortgage lender Skipton announced that they would be increasing rates across their entire mortgage product range. Also removing selected 2-year and 5-year products that are currently on offer. Narrowing their lending and making borrowing more expensive.
