The mortgage rate outlook for 2026.

After a few turbulent years, 2026 is shaping up to be a much calmer time for UK borrowers. With inflation easing and the Bank of England expected to keep nudging interest rates down, mortgage rates are likely to steadily improve.

But here’s the catch: The best mortgage deals rarely stick around. Lenders change rates quickly, and the most attractive offers can disappear just as fast as they arrive.

That’s why being ready matters.

It pays to talk to a mortgage adviser sooner rather than later.

Too many people wait until their mortgage deal is ending or they’ve found a property before speaking to an adviser. By then, the clock is ticking and your options may be limited.

Speaking to a Moat early means we can get you mortgage-ready so you can snap up the best deal as soon as it pops up, saving you time, stress, and money.

We’ll make sure you:

• Understand how much you can borrow

• Choose the right type of mortgage for your circumstances

• Have all the paperwork done and dusted before deadlines loom

• Are in a position to strike when a great deal becomes available
