What 2024 Looked Like and What 2025 Could Look Like for the UK Mortgage Market

2024 was an interesting year for the UK mortgage market. With mortgage rates higher than they’ve been in a while, a lot of people have felt the pinch. This all started back in 2022, when Liz Truss was Prime Minister and introduced her mini-budget. It kind of rocked the boat and caused a lot of market uncertainty, pushing up swap rates. For anyone who doesn’t know, swap rates are the cost banks pay when borrowing money from other banks, and they directly affect how much you pay for your mortgage. When swap rates go up, mortgage rates tend to follow, and that’s what’s been happening.

So, 2024 was a bit of a bumpy ride for people with tracker or Standard Variable Rate (SVR) mortgages, since those rates are linked to the Bank of England's base rate. We’ve seen rates go up and down a few times, and that’s meant a lot of people have been paying more each month. It wasn’t all bad though—some people with fixed-rate deals still had stable payments, which helped keep things a little less stressful.

Now, looking ahead to 2025, things could get a little better—but we’re not out of the woods yet. Mortgage rates might start to ease as inflation slows down and the Bank of England considers reducing its base rate. That could mean some relief for homeowners and first-time buyers who are feeling the squeeze. But, keep in mind that swap rates could still affect things, so mortgage rates might not drop as quickly as we’d hope.""So, 2024 was a bit of a bumpy ride for people with tracker or Standard Variable Rate (SVR) mortgages, since those rates are linked to the Bank of England's base rate.

In short, 2024 was a tough year for some, but 2025 could bring a little more stability, depending on how the economy plays out. Keep an eye on those rates, and don’t forget, if you’re thinking about getting a mortgage or remortgaging, it’s always good to check out the options to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
