Stuart Cheetham (pictured), CEO of MPowered Mortgages, said: “As a smaller fintech lender who is focused on speeding up the mortgage journey for homebuyers using the power of smart technology and artificial intelligence, we will continue to try and keep rates as low as we possibly can.

“This is crucial if we want to help people both on the housing ladder or trying to get on it, especially at a time when the cost-of-living continues to squeeze finances.

“However, whilst keeping rates low is important, seeking independent financial advice is too, as it will help borrowers choose a mortgage that best meets their individual needs.”  

David Hollingworth, associate director at L&C Mortgages, added: “Households will be feeling the pinch as higher costs and interest rate hikes affect day-to-day budgeting. 

“It’s therefore a boost for borrowers to have access to these improving fixed rates that can help put certainty into their mortgage payments and shore up against an uncertain outlook, it’s important to factor in fees as well as rate when taking a new mortgage and these deals offer a broad range of competitive options, to help meet the differing needs and individual circumstances of remortgage borrowers and buyers alike.”
