Is now the right time to look for a new mortgage?
This may well be a very good time to review your mortgage arrangements.
Let’s face it, nobody really wants a mortgage. What you want is an affordable, comfortable home that meets your needs. One that will help to provide you and your family with a secure future. For most of us, a mortgage is the only way of achieving this. We may not want a mortgage, but we do need a mortgage.
Recently, the financial news has been full of headlines about rising mortgage rates following the Bank of England’s recent increase of the base interest rate to the highest level for 13 years*. This, combined with big increases in energy costs and the general cost of living, has been an understandable cause for concern for many homeowners and those planning to take their first step on the property ladder.
This is why now is a really good time to review your current mortgage arrangements and find out what other deals are available, and which might best suit your needs. For example, moving to a new fixed rate mortgage now could help you to avoid future interest rate rises, by locking in a lower rate for several years.

First-time buyers
Buying your first home, or helping your children or grandchildren buy theirs, is a huge moment. It’s both exciting and daunting in equal measures. The BCM team will explain the range of different mortgages available and help you make the best choice. In fact, BCM can manage the entire house-buying process, from first application to final completion, giving you so much less to worry about.
Remortgaging
With interest rates rising, many people are looking for a better mortgage deal. Your home is usually your biggest asset, and remortgaging your property is also a common way to raise capital for extensions or renovations.
