It's good news for homeowners looking to remortgage in the near future as the affordability of mortgages begins to increase in the UK. According to experts, rates have been gradually declining and are expected to continue to fall. As of November 7th, the average mortgage rate for a five-year fixed agreement is 5.43%, with the lowest rate at 4.97%.* Some homebuyers are even saving circa £64 on monthly repayments since July.
