Bank of England base rate change

 
On Thursday 1 August the Bank of England base rate went down from 5.25% to 5.00%.
 

Mortgages

All our mortgage products linked to the base rate will go down by 0.25% from Tuesday 3 September. This includes the Follow-on Rate, which will go down by 0.25% to 8.25%.

The Standard Variable Rate (SVR) will go down by 0.25% to 7.25% from Tuesday 3 September.

If you have a fixed rate deal, this change won’t affect your monthly payments.

If you have a base rate tracker deal or are on the SVR, we'll send you a letter with your new interest rate and monthly payment. You'll get it at least 7 days before your monthly payment goes down.
