Base rate increase - AWAITING mortgage offer

I saw a similar post although my situation is slightly different.


We applied for a mortgage BEFORE the rate rise and the rate rise has subsequently happened. Should we expect the offer when it arrives to be at the original rate applied for at or a higher rate given the base rate rise ?


Thank you very much in advance - cheers all.

    That depends on the nature of the product offered.

    If a base rate tracker expect it to be at a 0.25% higher rate than your original illustration.

    If a fixed rate, expect it to be as per your illustration.

    Fabulous, thank you. It is a fixed rate product. That's good to know, thank you again.

    Normally, a rate is secured when an application is submitted and any fees paid.
