    Yes. As BOE base gives a floor to inter bank lending rates.

    LIBOR rates change every (working) day.

    Which LIBOR rate? There are quite a few different rates ranging from 0.4725% to 1.025%.

    The 12 month rate increased quite a bit today so your next statement you might see an increase on your interest rate.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Historically, UK residential mortgages have tracked three month LIBOR.
