  • My understanding is LIBOR is very low at the moment. Try here:

    or google libor. This was the first site I found. LIBOR has drifted downwards since the BOE base rate has been cut.

    LIBOR is currently at historic lows -currently 2.7%, which would make your mortgage 5.8%, although generally LIBOR-linked mortgages only have their rate adjusted every three months.
    6 months ago LIBOR was 6.5%, which would make your mortgage 9.6%. We may well see those rates again although probably not for another year.
