Rightmove says fixed mortgage rates may hold steady as Bank of England raises base rate to 4%

By Public Technologies
  • Rightmove analysis indicates fixed mortgage rates need not rise following the Bank of England's widely anticipated increase to 4% from 3.75%.
  • Average two-year fixed mortgage rates stood at 5.51% on November 5, 2026; five-year rates averaged 5.49%.
  • Both averages fell 0.02 percentage points over the week, with some major lenders making marginal cuts.
  • Tracker mortgage rates face an immediate increase, narrowing their pricing advantage over fixed-rate deals, subject to individual mortgage terms.
  • Monthly mortgage costs for typical flat buyers rose around £150 from the year's start; detached-home buyers face roughly £350 more.
