Eight major UK lenders have lifted mortgage rates for new borrowers. Average fixed-rate deals keep rising, leaving borrowers with no relief. The increases extend across a wide range of home loan products.

The moves take place before the Bank of England's next vote on interest rates. Inflation rose to 3.1 percent, adding further pressure to mortgage pricing. The Times and The Telegraph both reported the rises. Borrowers looking for new deals or renewals will face higher costs. Many households will see monthly repayments go up.

The latest rise follows a string of increases. Lenders are responding to market pressures. The outlook for mortgage rates remains uncertain. Homeowners with expiring deals face steeper payments. New buyers face the same pressure. Rising costs increase the burden on families.
