Rightmove’s weekly mortgage tracker 10/01/25
Commenting on the rise in UK borrowing costs and the potential impact on mortgage rates, Rightmove’s expert Matt Smith says: “The short term impact is that mortgage rates are likely to rise, as the cost of borrowing increases impacts lenders. However, this is unlikely to be significant and certainly not completely unexpected. Looking a bit further ahead, the market is still expecting a Bank Rate cut in February, but beyond that is uncertain right now. Despite increased costs, we’re at the start of what is traditionally the busiest period of the year for the housing market, so I expect lenders will still want to take advantage of this demand through as attractive rates as possible.”
