Just how low can mortgage rates go? This is the question that is on the tip of everyone’s tongues in the mortgage world right now.
The appetite of lenders at the moment is forcing strong competition in the market and that is driving rates in a seemingly ever downward direction.
The mortgage rate war is in full swing
It’s being referred to as a “mortgage rate war” as there has been an intense battle in the last few years by lenders to offer the most competitive interest rates to attract new business.
Some examples of deals available are:
Fixed Rate(s)
- 2 Year @ 1.29%
- 3 Year @ 1.89%

The average lender’s Standard Variable Rate is now 4%. Apathy could be costing you thousands in unnecessary interest payments.
