UK Five-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate Hits 6%

The average UK five-year fixed mortgage rate has reached 6% for the first time in three years, according to figures cited by the Guardian. Lenders have raised prices as bond market turmoil increases expectations of a base rate rise, making the loans more expensive to offer. The BBC notes that new fixed-rate mortgage costs have been rising in recent weeks as lenders face higher costs.
