    Interest Rates Could Hit 6% In 2023. Time To Remortgage?

    Interest Rates Could Hit 6% In 2023. Time To Remortgage?

    Published almost 3 years ago

    It was predicted a few months ago that interest rates will increase to 1.5% next year. In August, money markets were betting that the rates would actually hit 2.75% in 2023, but after the mini-budget last week, the expected peak is now 6%.
