Bank of England Base Rate Cut: What It Means for Borrowers 📉 Today’s 25bps cut to 4.75% by the Bank of England brings some relief for borrowers, especially first-time buyers and movers who may find homes more affordable ahead of the stamp duty changes next March. 🏠For those remortgaging from historically low fixed rates, this reduction could ease the transition. Mortgage advisers, this is a key time to connect with clients. 🔍With the recent Budget and US events, it’s unclear if we’ll see further cuts, but we’ll be watching closely. #AfinBank #BaseRate #BankOfEngland #Homebuyers #Finance Jason Oakley, Alan Davison, Monica Velasquez, Charles Resnick,Patrick F.
