A New Era for Mortgages: Insights from the This Is Money Podcast
After months of mortgage mayhem, there is finally some good news as major lenders have slashed their rates. Halifax, Nationwide, and NatWest are among the banks that have significantly reduced their home loan rates, indicating that the peak panic in the mortgage market may have passed.
However, even with these rate cuts, mortgage rates remain much higher than they have been in recent years, and homeowners whose fixed-rate deals are up for renewal will still face increased costs. As we move past Mortgage Mayhem Part 2, what can we expect next for mortgage rates and homeowners?
In this episode of the This Is Money podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane, and Simon Lambert analyze the aftermath of the turbulent past few months and explore the future of mortgage rates. They also discuss the financial implications of higher rates and how mortgage hikes are likely to offset any pay increases. Additionally, Simon explains the significant problem posed by stagnant real wages after an extended period.
On a more positive note, Premium Bonds have experienced a significant increase in the prize rate. Are they now an obvious choice for investors? The podcast also features an interesting story about exceptional customer service and how Helen became a viral sensation with an old carrier bag.
