Show Notes
The mortgage market is mayhem, with lenders pulling deals and rapidly hiking rates.
Average fixed mortgage rates have soared over the past month and we are now at the stage where it looks a lot like the panic after the mini-Budget.
At the same time savings rates are going gangbusters and there is barely a day that passes without a new best buy.
Meanwhile, UK gilt yields have also leapt, sending the UK’s borrowing costs even higher.
What on earth is going on? On this podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert dive in and try to explain why the sudden inflation-driven chaos has kicked off and what borrowers and savers can do.
What should you do if you need a mortgage?
Is this a prime time to grab a savings deal or should you wait for better rates?
How does it compare to the double-digit rates days of the 1980s?
What does this mean for the economy?
Are we all doomed? Or will this pass?
Listen to the podcast to find out their views and get tips on how to sort your mortgage and savings.
