The choice of mortgage products on the market has grown to more than double the level seen in the aftermath of the mini-budget last autumn, according to a financial information website. Moneyfacts counted 5,264 options available in May 2023, marking the highest total since February 2022, when 5,356 mortgage products were on the market.
Back in October last year, 2,258 deals were available. Many mortgage products had been pulled from sale, amid market turmoil. Moneyfacts said the number of options within the 15% and 25% deposit ranges are the highest on its records, suggesting a greater stability in the level of choice.
It counted 947 deals for people with a 25% deposit and 816 for people with a 15% deposit, in May. Both figures are the highest on Moneyfacts' records going back to 2007.
