At Mortgage Decisions, it is noteworthy that several major lenders have recently introduced mortgage deals with interest rates below 4% for loans with a 60% loan-to-value ratio.

Typically, interest rates are lower for those with larger deposits; however, even in this scenario, rates have remained stubbornly above 4% over the past year, especially for 2-year fixed deals. The anticipated cuts from the Bank of England have taken longer to materialize than expected.

Following the Bank of England’s decision to lower rates in its February meeting—from 4.75% to 4.5%—and with consensus forecasts predicting rates could drop to 3.75% by the end of the year, lenders are now feeling more confident and competitive.

While these sub-4% rates are primarily available to borrowers with larger deposits, this development signifies a positive shift in market sentiment and indicates potential movement in rates for other products in the coming months.

This surge in competition within the mortgage market is encouraging news for borrowers.
