Consider carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be at risk of repossession if you fail to maintain repayments on a loan or any other debt secured against it.

How to Find the Best Mortgage Rates and Deals

Mortgage rates vary widely based on the type of mortgage, your financial profile, and credit score. Securing the best rate for your circumstances means comparing rates across mortgages that align with your needs. While a low rate is crucial, it’s also important to consider fees and the specific features of each mortgage deal. These factors play a significant role in determining the true cost and suitability of your mortgage.

If you're unsure or want help finding the most appropriate mortgage for your situation, seeking professional mortgage advice is recommended.

Are Mortgage Rates Going Down?

Mortgage rates have seen mixed trends recently. While some major lenders, like Coventry Building Society, Halifax, and Virgin Money, have increased rates, others like Santander have introduced rate cuts. Currently, NatWest offers the lowest five-year fixed-rate mortgage at 3.84%, while Santander and Barclays lead on two-year fixed-rate mortgages at 3.96% (note: Barclays’ rate of 3.96% is exclusive to Premier customers; for other customers, it’s 3.99%).

On average, two-year fixed-rate mortgage costs have risen to 4.95% (up from 4.91% a week earlier), and five-year fixed-rate mortgages have increased to 4.70% (up from 4.64%). However, some rate cuts have occurred, notably on two-year fixed rates requiring a 40% deposit. These figures, sourced from Rightmove, reflect mortgage activity as of early November 2024.

While a trend towards lower rates was anticipated, recent economic pressures from the Autumn budget and US election have kept rates high. However, borrowers with tracker and variable rate mortgages may benefit, as the base rate was recently reduced to 4.75%. This change could save a borrower with a £200,000 tracker mortgage nearly £30 per month.


What Are Current UK Mortgage Rates?

As of early November, average mortgage rates for two-year fixed deals with a 40% deposit have slightly decreased to 4.10%. Five-year fixed rates for the same deposit level have also dipped, now averaging 4.02%. Meanwhile, rates for smaller deposits have seen increases. For example, the average two-year fixed rate for a 10% deposit has risen to 5.37%, and the five-year equivalent is now 4.94%. (Data sourced from Rightmove, accurate as of 7 November 2024.)
