Rightmove’s Weekly Mortgage Tracker 06/06/23
Rightmove’s mortgage expert Matt Smith says: “We’re now seeing the full impact of the recent inflation numbers coming through, with rates increasing by an average of 0.39% across all LTVs and those with a 10% or 15% deposit hardest hit by these latest rate changes. This is a much higher increase than we’ve seen in recent weeks and reflects the uncertainty amongst lenders right now. One factor to keep in mind for those taking out a mortgage soon is that the minimum available rates for each loan size are considerably lower than the average rate, as some lenders try to remain as competitive they can.
“For example, while the average mortgage rate for a 5-year fixed, 85% Loan-to-Value (LTV) mortgage is up by 0.47% to 5.02%, the best-buy for this type of mortgage is currently 4.43%, up by 0.07% compared to last week’s lowest available rate.
“This is the first week that we’ve seen average rates of 5% or more in all LTV brackets since early January. We’ve now seen the majority of lenders change their rates after an initially slow response to the inflation figures, and it’s likely lenders will assess the impact of these changes before making further moves.”
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.
