will banks be reducing fixed rates any time soon?

With todays base cut today do you think that banks will be reducing the fixed rate mortgages that is currently out there.
I'm quite lucky that I have a low LTV ratio (under 30%) so i was hoping that banks would be changing the 5yr fixed rates.
the cheapest i have seen and have on hold is a 5yr fixed 4.59 with basic valuations fees refunded, and a £999 arrangement fee.

Listen to what people say, but watch what people what people do!!

I think they will drop them but i think you will have to wait until at least next month, i know nationwide dropped theirs after the last cut but it was a good month after the last drop.I am not a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as not being a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Swap rates have reduced, so I think you can expect new fixed rate products to be launched over the next week or so, although the best deals will still be reserved for lower LTV cases.0

Ha ha I was checking nationwie too. Because I'm a low LTV I thought I would get a decent fixed rate.Listen to what people say, but watch what people what people do!!0

You are correct - they have been coming down tremendously.
However lenders have not been reacting in the same way, and reducing by the amounts they had previously been doing.
So we will have to wait and see what they decide to do now.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Also is your LTV based on todays value, my LTV was 28% about a year ago and today is probably more like 34%.0

According to http://www.swap-rates.com/UKSwap_extended.html rates have risen off recent lows!
Rate cuts have been factored in it seemsNothing to see here :beer:0 -
very interesting. presumably this reflects the fear that rates will have to go up in 12-18 months if we start leaving recession behindCozworth806 wrote: »According to http://www.swap-rates.com/UKSwap_extended.html rates have risen off recent lows!
