    Not necessarily.
    We're approaching the end of the "mortgage season" when mortgage applicants get a bit thin on the ground, so having a bun fight over a few applicants is a waste of time and money for the lenders.
    When borrowers are plentiful, Spring and Summer, a shaving off the interest rate can bring in big numbers, but at this time of the year only those lenders that have yet to "fill their book" for the year will launch a limited traunch of funds with a market leading rate to tidy up their order book.
    These last minute offerings are only on the market for a few weeks, in some cases days !
    Watch what happens every spring .... Halifax bring out a market leading rate (first off the starting blocks) followed by Abbbey etc. etc.
    Halifax revise their rates down, so does Abbey etc. etc.
    Eventually all the jostling for position settles down and mortgage life goes on as normal ..for a while.
    Once thier number crunchers tell them their order book is on course, they tend to become less generous with the rates.
    I know someone is going to say that this has got nothing to do with it, and it's all to do with SWAP rates, but a historical pattern seems to emerge over time.
    As soon as the demand for mortgages decreases, the lenders become less competitive.
