Interest rates are rising. Time to use your loaf.

The Bank of England has raised interest rates to 4%. If your mortgage deal is coming to an end, it’s time to see what’s cooking.

This rise may already be baked in. The next one might not be.

Lenders price fixed mortgages partly on where they expect interest rates to go. So today’s increase may already be reflected in the deals available.

But that doesn’t mean rates have finished rising. Further increases could be on the horizon. If expectations change, lenders could push fixed mortgage rates higher before the Bank makes its next move.

Waiting for the next announcement could mean missing an opportunity to secure a suitable deal now.

What does it mean for your mortgage?

• Fixed rate? Your rate stays the same until your deal ends.

• Tracker? Your rate will usually rise with Bank Rate, subject to your mortgage terms.

• Standard variable rate? Your lender could increase your rate.

Keep more of your hard-earned crust.

If your deal is ending soon, don’t leave your mortgage on the back burner.
