MORTGAGES AND REMORTGAGES – LOOKING GOOD!

Residential mortgage rates remain very low although the most recent hike in inflation can be taken as a reminder that rates can go up.



It is probably a very good time to lock into a fixed interest rate for 5 years or so which can be as low as 2.0%. Many lenders are also working on making borrowing easier for older borrowers. We can provide rapid assessments of what rates may be available for your circumstances.

The market in purchasing buy-to-let properties has slowed following the hefty increases in Stamp Duty when you buy a second/investment property, and also due to the reduction in tax relief on mortgage interest for higher rate taxpayers. However, rates are also good in this sector for those reaching the end of a mortgage term on their rental property and looking to replace the existing mortgage.
