Why You Should Chat with a Mortgage Broker Now (Yes, Even After the Rate Cut)
On 7 August 2025, the Bank of England trimmed the Bank Rate from 4.25% to 4.00%, its fifth cut in a little over a year.
As a result, two-year fixed mortgage rates have fallen to around 5%, dipping below five-year deals for the first time since 2022 . In fact, some brokers are already offering two-year fixes below 3.8%. Meanwhile, owners with tracker mortgages; who tie repayments to the Bank Rate, are also set to see immediate savings each month.
Why This Matters—and Why You Should Talk to Clear Finance
1. Stay in Tune with the Best Deals
A mortgage broker can access a wide range of lenders and deals, some of which aren’t advertised publicly. That means they can spot sharp two-year fixes under 3.8% or niche offers that might suit your situation better.
2. Save Time—and Future Headaches
Finding the right mortgage isn’t just about the rate. Brokers handle the paperwork, liaise with lenders, and guide you through the complexities, especially handy if you’re juggling multiple options or have a unique financial profile.
3. Tailored Advice in a Shifting Market
With rates fluctuating and lenders adjusting offers daily, a broker helps you decide whether to fix now or ride variable rates, without getting lost in confusing jargon or “what-ifs.”
4. Remortgaging? Don’t Miss It
Nearly a third of UK homeowners are remortgaging in 2025—and many are seeing sharp increases when their deals end. Acting early (around six months in advance) helps you switch before lender SVRs, currently averaging around 7.4%—kick in,
