Today, 7th August 2025, the Bank of England has voted to reduce the base rate to 4.0%.   

This decision comes in response to a cooling labour market, with unemployment rising to a four-year high of 4.7%.   

While inflation remains elevated at 3.6%, above the Bank’s 2% target, the move is intended to support the wider economy and for many mortgage holders, it’s a welcome relief. 

What This Means for You: 

  • If you’re on a tracker or variable rate mortgage, this reduction could lead to lower monthly payments. 
  • If your fixed-rate deal is ending, especially if it was taken out during the pandemic, this could be a great opportunity to explore more competitive options. 
  • If you’re saving for your first home, now might be a good time to review how to make the most of your savings before locking in a mortgage.
