Bank of England increases base rate
What's changed
Variable rate mortgages
We’ll be increasing variable rate mortgages indexed to the base rate by 0.25% from 1 September 2023, in line with existing terms and conditions.
We’ve reviewed our other variable rates and have decided not to pass on the latest base rate change at this time.
We'll continue to review the position and will notify impacted customers if things change in the future..
Fixed rate mortgages
If you are on a fixed rate mortgage, nothing will change.
The interest rate and monthly payments stay the same until the end of the fixed deal.
