This graph shows it all. Shows why HPI happened during covid and why it will end now. Still more rate rises to come too.

yet UK 10 year gilt yield is highest since 2014. wonder why the mismatch?

Back to 10 year average.

Pre-pandemic 3.6 - now 4.2. Come back when it's significant change

Deals being pulled, bank appetite shrinking.

 

Anecdotes of Brokers working through the night to get applications approved before deals are pulled, literally working to when systems are updated.

 

My entire RM search is all marked as STC.  Going to see what 'magically' comes back as down valuations or pulled approvals hit.

Takes time for mortgage rates to get jacked up I think

yeah the lenders will already have sold say £X of fixed rate 10 year bonds at the earlier lower price and not lent it all out yet - that will cover a specific fixed rate mortgage product and once it's gone it's gone and they'll move onto another bond issuance

The BOE haven't finished with their base rate hikes yet so mortgage rates are guaranteed to go higher.

that makes sense. plus there's a delay from mortgage agreement with customer to actual purchase.

in a few months' time, it's going to be brutal

Won't see the effects of recent rate rises or bill going up till the NW/HF indexes in September/October.

Rates seem well up to me! In late 2019 we got a 1.44% fix. From our current lender, that’s now looking like 2.44% if we got for the same 2 year fix again.

Can someone confirm if it is the Sonia swap rate that banks buy tranches of to then lend out with a margin?

It keeps going up!

I guess noone really knows for sure...

This article suggests some lender do as I suggested.

 

SONIA swaps up again big today...

You can still shop around for a good deal. I have something in principle from Halifax - 30yrs, 5 year fixed at 2.63%.

There are still cheap deals out there based on money secured previously.

Those are drying up quickly though. 

Mortgages rates will rise consistently all year even if the BoE stops raising rates now (which in unlikely).

The 1% BoE rate still isn't fully into the mortgage market.
