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.

You can compare 1 firms side by side.

Flat prices create opportunities for first-time buyers to negotiate. Brokers familiar with local lenders who understand commuter-belt property values can often secure better terms than high-street banks.

On the ground, a good adviser spots survey quirks, lease issues, and lender overlays that postcode-level stats miss.

Most offer a no-obligation first call so you can sense-check strategy before paying anything.

• Shortlist two or three firms from the list above that match your situation (Southwater 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.
