There are millions of homeowners sitting on a variable rate mortgage and many of them should consider switching lenders to reduce the risk being hit by impending interest rate rises. 

Many of the banks and building societies are offering their best ever mortgage rates and there are some great remortgage deals available, which makes it a good time to assess the market. 

According to the Council of Mortgage Lenders up to 67% of borrowers are on some form of variable rate mortgage.

Aaron Strutt, product manager at Trinity Financial, says: “Many of the banks and building societies have not changed their standard variable rates for years and borrowers have been happy to stick with their low tracker mortgages.

“Once the Bank of England starts to increase the base rate more borrowers will be keen to remortgage to one of the many fixed deals, although they are likely to be more expensive.”
