Your mortgage rate update – June 2026

Mortgage rates rose earlier this year following tensions in the Middle East, but they’ve eased slightly since then – welcome news for borrowers.

Looking ahead, the Bank of England has said inflation could pick up again. If that happens, interest rates may rise further, with forecasts suggesting two to three increases this year.

If your current deal is ending soon, it could be worth reviewing your options now rather than waiting. Acting early may give you more choice and certainty.

Rates currently start from around 4.4%. While still low by historical standards, they could rise later in the year.

There are also more flexible options available now, especially for first-time buyers.

Example fixed rates (60% loan to value)

  • 2-year fixed – 4.56% | £999 fee
  • 3-year fixed – 4.60% | £999 fee
  • 5-year fixed – 4.59% | £999 fee
  • Buy-to-let 2-year fixed – 4.56% | £1,749 fee
