Over the past two days, both Barclays and Nationwide have notified us that they will be increasing their interest rates for new borrowers.
Whilst there is no need to panic as the increases are small, with two of the top five mortgage lenders in the UK increasing their rates, it is significant. Feedback from other lenders is that they are considering a rise in the near future.
