The interest rate on the average five-year fixed mortgage has dropped below 6% for the first time in nearly three months.
According to financial information firm, Moneyfacts, the last time the average five-year rate was below 6% was 3 July.
Mortgage bills have been going up as the Bank of England has brought up base interest rates in an effort to reduce inflation, which currently stands at 6.7% - more than three times the Bank's target of 2%. In response to increased base rates, decided by the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee, lenders have been increasing the rates they offer on their mortgages.
