Explained in plain English

Will my mortgage change?

A strengthening pound doesn't directly change your mortgage payments. However, a growing service sector and a confident economy might influence the Bank of England's decisions on interest rates in the future. If rates go up, it could eventually affect variable rate mortgages or when you remortgage.
