Let's recap on what's been going on:
💰 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.
🔥 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 £1m annual investment allowance as the only remaining cuts that weren't axed.
📢 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.
