The Mortgage Works improves interest rates

The products are available with immediate effect.

Commenting on the changes, Group Communications Manager Helen Shaw said, "We have refined our mortgage range to reflect changes in the money markets. This is primarily due to a change in the perception of long term interest rates and where financial markets believe the peak of the interest rate cycle will be. Three months ago the view was that the top of this cycle could be anywhere between 5.25% and 5.75%, with economic data being released now, this view has been reduced to 4.75% - 5.00%."
