Errol Hall, Mortgage Broker in Saffron Walden, Hertfordshire said:

“We offered interest only mortgage options below 1% in November 2021, before the Bank of England raised base rates.  Now clients are concerned that interest rates may go up again. At this point no one knows whether more base rate rises are likely. If they come mortgage repayment terms are going to increase too.  We are regularly meeting clients who are struggling with their finances, because of escalating energy bills.  One way to reduce your outgoings is to review your mortgage product and repayment terms. Our new February mortgage rates are higher than previous rates, but it may still be beneficial for you to switch provider now. We will only know this by looking at your individual financial circumstances. We recommend that you call our mortgage brokers on 01707 872000 and arrange a free, no obligations mortgage advice review now. This will give you peace of mind that you have considered all the available mortgage options, so you are not paying more than you should. Also remember if you want to move house this spring or summer it’s worth sorting your mortgage first, so you know the price of property you can afford.’
