The amount of 10-year fixed mortgage products on the market has reached a record high, research has found. According to Moneyfacts.co.uk, there are now 157 options for 10-year fixed-rate mortgages. The average rate charged on a 10-year fixed mortgage stands at 3.01 per cent, a fall of 0.09 per cent year-on-year from the 3.10 per cent recorded in August 2018. Back in 2014, the interest rate was over 5% and there were only 22 products available. Rachel Springall, a finance expert at Moneyfacts.co.uk, said: "Borrowers may well be thinking of different ways to safeguard themselves from potential rate fluctuations in the market, or even for some peace of mind during a period of economic uncertainty. A decade-long fixed-rate mortgage is no doubt a big commitment, so borrowers must feel confident that their circumstances are unlikely to change to avoid the expense of refinancing earlier than expected. There is a much larger choice of mortgages within the five-year fixed market and these should ideally be considered as an alternative."
