Borrowing costs in context

The Bank of England Bank Rate is one input to mortgage pricing; see the Bank base rate page on this site for the figure we publish. The deal you are offered still depends on deposit, term, fixed vs variable, and affordability stress tests — not any single headline rate.

From application to completion

Shortlist two or three firms from the list above that match your situation (Preston is already filtered for you).
Read profiles for fees, specialisms, and how they prefer to work (phone, video, face-to-face).
Book a first call — use it to test clarity and responsiveness, not just the rate quote.
Agreement in Principle (AIP) — when you are ready, your broker can run this so offers carry more weight with agents and vendors.
