What the Bank of England base rate change means for you

7th August 2024

On Thursday 1 August, the Bank of England announced a 0.25% decrease in the base rate from 5.25% to 5.00%. As a mutual building society committed to putting our members first, we want to make sure the changes we make to interest rates remain fair to both our mortgage and savings members.

  • Our SVR will decrease by 0.25% from 8.24% to 7.99%, effective from 1 September 2024
  • Affected members will receive a letter detailing the new interest rate and monthly payments
  • The new monthly payment will begin on your usual payment date in September.
