Mortgage rates decline for the second consecutive week

Interest rates have been in the news a lot recently, and we understand that many homebuyers are unsure of what the future holds. Today brings good news, however, as mortgage interest rates have now declined for the second consecutive week.

Over the last week, many fixed rate and tracker rate mortgages have reduced*, and they are likely to continue to do so.

Halifax’s two year fixed rate mortgage, for example, has come down from 6.31 per cent to 5.98 per cent, and its’ five year mortgage from 5.69 per cent to 5.41 per cent.

Similarly, Nationwide’s two year fixed rate mortgage has also reduced from 5.64 per cent to 5.39 per cent, with the five year option also declining from 5.24 per cent to 5.09 per cent.

The tracker mortgages from Nationwide have seen similar changes. The two year mortgage with a 75 per cent Loan-to-Value (LTV) was 3.74 per cent, at 0.74 per cent above the Bank of England’s base rate, and is now 3.64 per cent.
