UK Housing Market Faces Uncertainty as Mortgage Rates Rise
The UK housing market is entering a critical period as the Bank of England's interest rate decisions and the Autumn Budget draw near. Major lenders, including HSBC and NatWest, have already increased mortgage rates due to volatility in the swap markets.
