Competition among lenders suggests that mortgage rates could be cut in the coming weeks, according to brokers and analysts. A newly-published report from Moneyfacts says expectations are high for a booming market in 2026. Mortgage rates have fallen as competition between lenders intensifies ahead of the Bank of England's next rate decision. BBC
