Should you remortgage now or wait see if the base rate falls again?

We have seen a recent round of rate cuts from lenders such as Nationwide, who have just released a 5 year fix at 1.99%. The base rate was cut last month and there are predictions that it could fall again before long.

The question many home-owners want an answer to is – should they remortgage now or wait to see if rates will fall further?

Economists are suggesting that the base rate will fall further, but they are also predicting that it’s likely mortgage rates may not get much lower. This means if you are holding off from switching deals you could be waiting for no reason.

Those on higher rates such as lenders’ SVRs, could find waiting to switch an expensive decision. With average SVRs set at 4.71%, there are far cheaper deals on offer out there. Each month you remain on your current deal and pay more for your home, is a month lost where you could be saving money.
