Re-confirm Current Mortgage Rates The Day You Sign
 Current mortgage rates are interest rates chargeable by lenders on new mortgages at any particular point in time. They find their basis in the official interest rate, called 'base rate', set each month by the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England (BOE) and may be few percentage points above or below the base rate depending on the nature of the mortgage. Therefore such current rates for mortgages vary with the fluctuations in the BOE base rate. For example, in a mortgage for a home, the current interest rate can be a 1) Standard Variable rate (SVR) - say 2/2.5 percent in addition to the base rate. The interest rate and the monthly repayment would consequently fluctuate with the changes in the base rate. 2) Fixed rate - These would carry a fixed rate of interest for a part of the mortgage duration and then revert to SVR. 3) Low rate mortgage - Such mortgages carry low interest rates that are below the base rate, for a fixed part of the mortgage period after which they usually change over to SVR for the remaining part of the term. There are numerous other mortgage variations to which different current mortgage rates apply. Inter-bank lending rates are governed by LIBOR (London Interbank Offered
Rate) which are fractionally above the official base rate and are published
daily at around 11.00 am by the BOE. Do you know what is prime rate? Prime rate is the rate at which US banks lend to borrowers with high credit worthiness.
