The media is full of stories about when base rate will rise following the results of the General Election and the move towards Brexit.

Looking behind the scenes, current indications suggest that a rise of perhaps 0.25% could occur in the next few months, although the economic scene, both in the UK and further afield is changing so rapidly that nothingis certain. Even the Bank of England is sending out mixed messages!

Our advice for this month continues to be to lock into a fixed rate for up to five years to avoid any unexpected rate increases in the next few years.
