Mortgage Market Shifts: What This Means for You

Mortgage Market Shifts: What This Means for You

Great news for homebuyers! Mortgage rates are dropping below 4% for borrowers with a 60% loan-to-value. Now’s the perfect time to explore your options—read on to learn how Pendle Hill Properties can help you.

Great news for homebuyers! The mortgage market is seeing some exciting changes, with major lenders now offering deals with interest rates under 4% for borrowers with a 60% loan-to-value (LTV). This is a significant shift, especially after a year of rates staying above 4%. For those with larger deposits, this offers a real opportunity to lock in better, more affordable mortgage deals.

What’s Behind the Shift?

The recent reduction in the Bank of England’s base rate—from 4.75% to 4.5%—is a key factor behind the change. With further rate cuts expected in the months ahead, lenders are becoming more confident and competitive. Experts predict the base rate could drop to 3.75% by the end of the year, meaning more opportunities for borrowers to secure lower rates.

What Does This Mean for Borrowers?

If you’ve been waiting for a better deal, the time has come. While the sub-4% rates are currently mainly available for those with larger deposits, this is a sign of positive changes to come. Rates on other products could follow suit shortly, creating even more opportunities for buyers. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, looking to remortgage, or just considering your options, the increased competition in the mortgage market is great news for you.
