Those people looking to remortgage after their current deal comes to a close are advised to shop around to try and secure a good deal. Unfortunately, the number of products on the market is also decreasing across the range, according to the Mail. Therefore, it’s more important than ever to seek the advice of a professional mortgage broker.
Eleanor Williams of Moneyfacts, said: ‘The average product shelf life rose to 28 days in September, but rather than this indicating a more stable mortgage market, when considered alongside the significant number of product withdrawals it may instead be a sign that lenders are tightening and condensing their ranges and focusing their product offerings.’
She added: ‘It’s unlikely to be a surprise that average rates have continued to march upwards, with both the average overall two- and five-year fixed rates rising for the 11th consecutive month. As may be expected, the average two-year tracker rate has also risen, shifting in line with the recent base rate increases.’
