Rightmove Mortgage Rate Data

Love or Hate Rightmove

Rightmove’s mortgage expert Matt Smith says: “It’s early days, but we’ve seen the first major lender significantly increase rates and it’s likely that we’ll see other lenders follow suit, though the full impact may take a few weeks to filter through. An increase in fixed-rates was likely to happen following the news earlier in the week that inflation had not fallen as much as markets had predicted. Subsequently the underlying costs of mortgages to lenders has increased and it appears they’re now starting to pass this on through their fixed-deals. We’ve seen average rates creep up from where they were earlier in the week and we expect some further increases in the coming weeks. Though the upward trajectory of mortgage rates will understandably be concerning to those thinking of moving soon, it’s important to remember that right now rates are still lower than they were on average in February before edging down in March & April, and there are likely to be more twists and turns to come with the ongoing uncertainty over inflation.”

 

The top table tracks 85% and 60% LTV for a 5 year fixed-rate mortgage so you can quickly see the trend at a glance. Further LTVs for 2 and 5 year fixed rates are in the tables that follow. All rates are based on products with a circa £999 fee. Rightmove can now provide mortgage rates across all LTVs for 95% of the mortgage market to exclude specialist lending.
