Mortgage Rate Radar: July 2025

Unsurprisingly, the Bank of England kept the base rate flat in June, given inflationary pressures and global uncertainty. But with four monetary policy meetings left this year, most predictions point to rates coming down in August and in November. The UK’s rate remains significantly higher than the Eurozone’s.

But despite the interest rate rises in May as a result of the inflation announcement and increases in SWAP rates (which lenders use to price their fixed rates), we are noticing a gradual downwards trend emerge.

Certainly, some of the sub-4% rates now available will be welcome relief for borrowers coming off long-term, low, fixed rates.

Encouragingly, innovation in green products for houses with high energy efficiency ratings and products aimed at helping buyers on to the property ladder continue to grow.
