  UK Mortgage Rates Surge as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Fears UK mortgage rates have reversed weeks of decline as lenders respond to escalating conflict in the Middle East, with HSBC, Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Coventry Building Society announcing increases of up to 0.25% across fixed-rate products. The repricing marks an abrupt shift in a market that had been steadily improving since late 2025. According to Mortgage Solutions, the average two-year fixed rate residential mortgage has climbed from 4.32% to 4.82% as of 4 March, while the five-year fix rose from 4.94% to 4.96%. The catalyst: soaring oil and gas prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran that sent energy markets into turmoil. The two-year swap rate rose from 3.33% on 27 February to 3.65% by 6 March, while the five-year swap rate climbed from 3.5% to 3.8%, according to Moneyfacts. Swap rates — the benchmarks lenders use to price fixed mortgages — move in tandem with market expectations for Bank of England policy. In late February, traders had fully priced in two Bank of England rate cuts by the end of 2026, but by 3 March, the chance of two rate cuts had been completely wiped out, according to the HomeOwners Alliance. The shift reflects a brutal recalculation of inflation risk. Since the first US strikes on Iran on Saturday, energy prices have soared, with the oil price increasing to 84$/barrel (Brent Crude) and UK gas prices to 139p/therm (up 15% and 78% respectively since the weekend), NIESR reported. Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows, according to Al Jazeera. The UK remains heavily dependent on gas for heating and electricity generation. For UK households, wholesale gas prices matter because they are a key driver of domestic energy bills, meaning a prolonged spike could push up costs in the months ahead. UK inflation stood at 3.4% in December 2025, already above the Bank of England's 2% target.

  @Woodywudpeck Maybe pinch a few NatWest for longer term as looks like they’re down 10%, or maybe will wait to see if they fall a bit more the next few trading days. #indecisive

  @NoToDigitalID @FlowerdewBob Sorry but this is being misused to stir up outrage. I bank with NatWest. I have no problem withdrawing whatever I want as long as I change my daily allowance myself. If I keep it low someone who steals my card or details can’t withdraw £2000: my choice

  We are stuck in Dubai, and have Natwest Platinum travel insurance through Allianz. Just tried to contact the UAE branch of Allianz and they have said our policy is not valid here, and to call UK support number. What kind of Travel insurance are you offering?

  @MartinSLewis I have Natwest black rewards account. I get travel insurance , phone insurance, breakdown cover ,free airport lounge access and £10 back each month. Comes in handy as I fly at least twice a month. It costs me £32 per month.

  @NatWest_Help @LifeOnSkaro Verse 2 The bankers tried, but not very hard, the customer lost their mind not their card. When venting on X, they shared their dismay, but Natwest made fun; now what do you say? 🤨

  @merseyrail I’m trying to get a refund for a journey I took over two weeks ago. The NatWest Payout system is having problems but no one has responded to the email I sent a week ago.

  @LBC Remember when @Nigel_Farage set up a website vowing to help any 'debanked' members of the public if they went to the site and handed over their details. NatWest paid him an undisclosed amount and he shut down the site quietly saying nothing.
