Описание: UK Mortgage Market Update | Rate Rises, Zero GDP Growth & Property Market Risk | March 2026

Almost every lender increased mortgage rates this week - some more than once - as swap rates surged toward year-ago highs.

📌 What's covered:

Widespread lender rate increases — and why
Swap rate movements and where we've settled
ONS GDP data: zero growth in January 2026
Government housebuilding targets — already out of reach?
Why the property market is at risk this year
Stamp duty for first-time buyers should be abolished
Why downsizers shouldn't pay stamp duty either
First-time buyer market — where the opportunities still are
