    AFAIK the recent increase in SVR was to equalise the SVR and HVR at 3.99%. I don't know of any links or controls on either rate in the future, so I expect they will remain the same.

    Others may feel differently...

    Halifax have also allowed themselves to room to raise the SVR by a further .25%.

    SVR has a link to BofE (which they can vary at 2 months notice).

    HVR doesn't.
