Mortgage Advisors see Falling Rates as the Key to Increased Product Availability

Monday, September 25th, 2023

Recent weeks have seen a slow-down and eventually a turnaround in the constant rate rises and product withdrawals experienced in previous months, to the extent that the number of mortgage products available had doubled in the space of 12 months*

Positive Trends in Mortgage Rates

This improvement in product choice will be welcome news to those looking to remortgage or purchase, as will the recent trend of rate reductions by many lenders.

Factors Influencing Mortgage Rates

Given inflation has started to slow, there has been some more positive ‘pay growth data’ and a reduction in ‘swap rates’ has been seen, some mortgage industry experts and commentators believe that the base rate may have reached its peak. However, as the balance of the various components that influence mortgage rates remains precarious, small changes in any one of them could reverse this.

Buyer Caution in the Current Mortgage Market

It is no wonder then that with the mortgage and housing markets as they are, many prospective home buyers and home movers may be “sitting and waiting,” for a more prolonged period of positivity/increased level of confidence before committing themselves.

The Role of Mortgage Brokers

With the recent adverse changes to mortgage criteria and rates, some at noticeably short notice, many considering a mortgage for either a house purchase or to remortgage an existing property have engaged the services of a specialist mortgage broker. Those that do, can interpret the impact of any market fluctuations on their proposal and remain confident that their expert will recommend the best solution in all the circumstances.
