Rightmove's weekly mortgage tracker

Matt Smith, Rightmove's mortgage expert said: "All eyes are on tomorrow's Bank of England decision where many are hoping for a first cut to the Base Rate for four years. The markets are currently favouring the likelihood of a cut, but as we've seen in recent weeks, this can change and I think it could go either way tomorrow. If the Bank Rate is cut, it will be really positive news and hopefully more will follow as the economy continues to stabilise. If it isn't, people shouldn't be too concerned - as it is highly likely it would follow in September, and I'd expect mortgage rates to hold steady and perhaps even trickle down a bit - albeit not quite as fast as if there is a cut."
