If interest rates rise how will this affect my monthly payment?
If the Bank of England Base Rate rises your monthly mortgage payment may increase too. Even if your interest rate is currently fixed, your monthly mortgage payment may still be higher than anticipated at the end of your fixed rate period.
What you need to do
