Nationwide increases fixed rates

Matthew Carter, divisional director for mortgages at Nationwide, said: “Following the cuts to base rate over recent months we have passed on the full decreases to our tracker rate and Base Mortgage Rate borrowers. We were also able to announce cuts to some of our fixed rate mortgages earlier this month as a result of decreases in money market swap rates. However, swap rates have risen significantly in the last few weeks and as a result it has been necessary to increase the rates on our fixed rate mortgages. While markets remain volatile we can expect to see frequent changes to fixed rates across the industry.”
