What are the current UK mortgage rates?
🔹 The Bank of England (BoE) meet about every six weeks to decide whether the Base Rate should go up or down, or stay the same
🔹 On 11 May, the Base Rate increased to 4.5%, from 4.25% in March.
🔹 All in all the rates are relatively stable which is reassuring for movers

How much can you borrow with a mortgage?
🔹 The amount you can borrow with a mortgage is determined by an affordability assessment and your interest rate is determined by the amount of deposit you have, otherwise known as loan-to-value (LTV)
🔹 LTV is expressed as a % and it reflects the size of the mortgage you need as a proportion of the value of the home you want to buy
🔹 The bigger the deposit you have, the lower the LTV, and vice-versa
🔹 A good way to find out how much you could borrow is to use a mortgage calculator.
🔹 And to get a personalised result by applying for a Mortgage in Principle which will take you one step closer to a mortgage offer
