Fix your mortgage rate now for five years

1st June 2007 Print
There are Bank of England warnings that the mortgage rate could rise again this summer, but you do not need to let this stop you having your dream home.

What you need to do is to prepare for the fact that they could rise and choose instead a mortgage that is fixed thereby ensuring that you know, month on month, what your repayments are for up to five years. It also means that if you want a brand new, fabulous home you know you can go ahead without any worries.

According to John Angela of John Angela Associates: “The minutes of the last MPC (Monetary Policy Committtee) meeting have indicated that Bank Base Rate could now go to 6% before the end of the year. This will probably be the peak. It is not an absolute certainty but an increase to 5.75% very soon is now virtually guaranteed.

Therefore in the current climate it makes sense to fix your rate. This will enable you to budget your monthly outgoings for the next few years safe in the knowledge that you are protected from any increases that the MPC will deem necessary!

Currently it is possible to obtain fixed rates at 5.29% for 2 years, 5.49% for 3 years or 5.50% for 5 years. This rates may seem high in comparison to the rates we have become used to in the last couple of years but compared to historical rates over the last 10 to 15 years they are still extremely competitive and should make buying your new Hillreed Homes’ property an affordable luxury!"
