Let's recap on what's been going on:
π° Liz Truss becomes PM and announces a mini budget which sends the mortgage market into a frenzy. BoE, looking to control inflation, increased interest rates.
π₯ Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng is fired post the mini budget, with Jeremy Hunt taking his place which led to a u-turn in the budget. Leaving just the stamp duty cut, a cut to National Insurance from April, and a Β£1m annual investment allowance as the only remaining cuts that weren't axed.
π’ Truss resigns and Rishi Sunak takes over as PM. Since his appointment mortgage rates have slightly lowered. Some lenders have dropped their rates by half a percentage point.
You're all caught up! It's been a whirlwind but the mortgage market is showing signs of calming however the Bank of England are due to meet next Thursday.
