UK Mortgage Costs Rise as Global Bond Selloff Puts Pressure on Borrowers

UK mortgage costs are coming under renewed pressure as a global bond market selloff and higher energy prices push borrowing costs higher. UK 30-year government bond yields briefly exceeded 6% for the first time since 1998, increasing banks’ funding costs and putting further upward pressure on mortgage rates. Around 750,000 UK borrowers coming off ultra-low fixed-rate mortgages taken out before rates began rising could face average increases of about £170 a month, while more than five million households are expected to see repayments rise by the end of 2028. The impact is also being felt internationally, with US 30-year mortgage rates reaching 7.28% and borrowing costs rising across the euro area. In the UK, mortgage approvals have fallen to their lowest level since late 2023, while house price growth recorded its weakest pace since December 2025. With inflationary pressures, energy costs and potential increases in government borrowing all creating further uncertainty, the outlook for mortgage affordability and housing market activity remains challenging.

ROSHN Opens Riyadh, Jeddah and Makkah Homes to Foreign Buyers

Saudi Arabia’s ROSHN Group has opened residential properties in Riyadh, Jeddah and Makkah to eligible non-Saudi buyers and international investors, following recent regulatory changes allowing greater foreign ownership of property in the Kingdom. Thousands of international buyers have already registered their interest, highlighting growing demand for Saudi residential real estate. Buyers based outside the Kingdom can complete the purchasing process remotely through the ROSHN app, making the process fully digital.

Available properties include homes at SEDRA in northern Riyadh, close to the future Expo 2030 site, where more than 3,000 units have already been delivered across apartments, townhouses and villas. In Jeddah, international buyers can purchase within ALAROUS, a residential community on the Red Sea coast, while Makkah opportunities are available at ALMANAR, ROSHN’s first integrated community in the city, located around 20 minutes from Al-Masjid Al-Haram. The developments form part of a broader expansion of housing choice and international access to Saudi Arabia’s property market.

UK Finance Warns Bank Tax Rises Could Push Up Mortgage Costs

UK Finance has warned that further increases in bank taxes could raise mortgage costs, restrict lending and make the UK less attractive to international financial institutions. Ahead of the October Budget, the banking body urged the government to maintain the current tax framework and avoid changes to how banks earn interest on their Bank of England reserves, which could also affect mortgage and savings rates. UK Finance also called for measures to support homeownership and housebuilding, including the proposed First-Time Buyer ISA, faster property transactions and greater private investment in housing. It highlighted £176.6bn of residential lending in 2025 and urged greater support for energy-efficient home improvements and regeneration.

Potential ‘Autumn Bounce’ Emerges in UK Housing Market

The UK housing market is showing early signs of an “autumn bounce”, with average asking prices rising by 0.7% (£2,441) in September to £367,440, according to Rightmove. The increase is slightly above the typical September rise of 0.5%, following a subdued summer affected by heatwaves and the World Cup.

However, the market remains challenging for sellers. Asking prices are still 0.8% below a year ago, while the number of properties available for sale is at a 12-year high for this time of year. Buyer demand also remains below last year’s level, with affordability pressures compounded by rising fixed mortgage rates despite the Bank of England holding Bank Rate at 3.75%.

Market conditions vary significantly across the UK, with 91% of homes in Scotland finding a buyer compared with 71% in the North West, 56% in the South East and just 42% in London. Rightmove says competitive pricing is increasingly important, with 74% of properties sold so far this year having been priced correctly from the outset. While the return of buyers after the summer provides some optimism for an autumn uplift, sellers face a crowded market where realistic pricing, strong presentation and flexibility are key to securing a sale.

Bank Holds Rates at 3.75% but Warns of Potential Increases

The Bank of England has held interest rates at 3.75% for the sixth consecutive meeting but warned that rates could rise if elevated energy prices persist. Disruption to global energy supplies has pushed up petrol, diesel and inflation, with the Bank now forecasting inflation to rise slightly above 4% early next year. Three of the nine Monetary Policy Committee members voted for an increase to 4%. The Bank also slowed its programme of government bond sales, helping long-term borrowing costs fall. While the UK economy has proved more resilient than expected, with growth forecast at 0.4% for the third quarter, higher energy costs are already affecting mortgage pricing. Average two-year and five-year fixed mortgage rates have risen to 5.77% and 5.83% respectively, putting further pressure on borrowers coming off cheaper fixed-rate deals.

Mortgage Costs Rise as Bank of England Rate Decision Looms

The Bank of England is widely expected to keep interest rates at 3.75% when the Monetary Policy Committee announces its decision this week, despite continued divisions over whether further action is needed to tackle inflation. At the same time, mortgage rates have risen over the past 10 days as volatility in international bond markets has pushed swap rates to their highest level in three years, increasing the cost at which lenders price new mortgage products.

The higher borrowing costs are already affecting the housing market, with mortgage approvals falling to 56,100 in July from 58,200 the previous month. This decline has dampened hopes of a stronger near-term recovery in property transactions.

With most economists expecting rates to remain unchanged for the rest of the year, buyers and homeowners are likely to face continued pressure from elevated mortgage costs, while the Bank’s decision could influence lender pricing and buyer confidence in the months ahead.
