Base Rate Reduced for the First Time in 2025

Published: 06/02/2025 By David Price

The Bank of England’s monetary policy committee announced today that the base rate has been reduced to 4.5%.

David Price, Residential Manager in our Blandford Office, welcomes the reduction, bringing the rate to its lowest level since May 2023. "In an already competitive mortgage marketplace, this reduction is expected to see more enticing offers from lenders as the year progresses with Barclays and Coventry Building Society having already reduced their rates at the start of the week.

He continues, "This is a positive development with the all-important Spring market fast approaching, hopefully bringing the traditional seasonal bounce in activity as the weather improves".
