Do your mortgage clients seem worried about the gilt yield rise?

Journalist: Shekina Tuahene, Mortgage Solutions

Mortgage borrowers have had a few days to think about the potential impact of higher gilt yields on interest rates. Since this has started to rise, have you come across any borrowers who are concerned about this? Is it influencing their behaviour i.e choosing a five-year fix or deciding to refinance early? Or have you not yet seen any reaction from your clients?

We have seen an uplift in clients concerned with what they are reading about the state of the market and how that could impact their mortgage. These concerns are mainly coming from people who's mortgage is coming to an end this year, we have also had people who are considering coming out of their current deals early to secure a new rate given how concerned they are.
