Bank of England cuts base rate by 0.50%.

09 October 2008

Bank of England base rate: 4.50% (as at 8 October 2008)


C&G will be passing on this Bank of England rate cut to its mortgage customers in full.

The C&G standard variable mortgage rate will be reduced to 6.50% from 1 November.

What does this mean for my existing C&G mortgage?

Existing customers with variable rate mortgages (tracker rate, offset and the C&G standard variable  mortgage rate) will also automatically benefit from the change and there is no need for you to take any action.  Letters will be sent out shortly confirming your new payment details and should be with you by the 23 October.

If you are in our Annual Instalment Review scheme - where your monthly mortgage payment changes just once each year - the overall effect of any rate changes during the year will be taken into account at the next annual review, and we'll let you know your new payment for the next 12 months when we send you your annual mortgage statement.

Next Bank of England announcement:  Thursday 6 November 2008, 12 noon
