Are Rates Increasing   Web Larger

Are mortgage rates set to increase?

9 days ago

We have seen several lenders increase their mortgage rates over the last couple of weeks. This suggests mortgage rates are likely to rise.

Although nothing is set in stone, lender repricing, rising swap rates, and continued economic uncertainty suggest borrowers should prepare for higher mortgage costs.

What people are saying...

Great service from start to finish! Jay Hembra was fantastic to deal with throughout our staircasing and remortgage process. He was quick to respond, explained everything clearly and made what could've been a stressful process really smooth and easy. Would definitely recommend Mortgage Required to anyone needing help with their mortgage.
