The BBA Mortgage Rate (now managed under UK Finance) tracks the average interest rate charged on residential mortgages by major UK high-street banks. It serves as a vital indicator of the cost of borrowing for households and the overall health of the UK property market. Changes in this rate directly influence consumer disposable income and housing demand.
The rate is calculated as a weighted average of the interest rates offered on new mortgage products by the constituent banks of the association, reflecting actual market lending conditions.
