Description

Average five-year fixed mortgage rates in the UK have hit 6% for the first time since 2023, and deals priced below 5% have almost vanished. So is this the worst time ever to buy a house? We look at why lenders are raising rates even while the Bank of England base rate holds steady, what higher repayments mean for first-time buyers and people coming off cheap fixed deals, and the risk of negative equity. We also compare today with past decades, when rates were higher but house prices were far lower relative to wages. Rent and save, or buy now?
