SVRs on the rise

Published on

Since April 2009 the Bank of England has kept base rate on hold at 0.50%, but since that time a number of mortgage providers have increased their standard variable rate (SVR), Moneyfacts.co.uk has claimed.

It has named the lenders as the Ipswich, Scottish, Cambridge, Mansfield and Marsden building societies, as well as Accord Mortgages.
