Ten-year fixed mortgage rates hit new record low

Ten-year fixed mortgage rate deals are lower than ever, with the average now 2.76%, according to Moneyfacts. A fierce mortgage price war has seen the number of 10-year fixed-rate mortgages on offer grow substantially over the past year, pushing rates down. The lowest rate currently on the market is set at just 2.2% by Coventry Building Society, following the news earlier this month that five-year fixed-rate home loans are also now at rock bottom levels. Furthermore, the average 10-year fixed-rate mortgage is just 0.36 percentage points higher than the average two-year fix, despite offering an additional eight years of security on monthly payments.
