Nearly 300 mortgage deals have been pulled in the last 24 hours by banks and building societies, after a fall in the pound fuelled forecasts of a jump in interest rates to nearly 6%.
HSBC and Santander were the biggest lenders to pull mortgage products, with Bank of Ireland, Clydesdale Bank, Post Office Money and building societies including Monmouthshire also among the brands to have withdrawn products, as lenders struggle to price loans.
