Martin Lewis has explained why homeowners can benefit from choosing a fixed-rate mortgage for their property.<br /><br />Speaking on This Morning, the MoneySavingExpert founder revealed that fixed rates have “actually got cheaper over the last few months... even though the UK base rate has gone up.”<br /><br />“Compared to where we were, now is a slightly cheaper time to fix than it would have been six or eight months ago,” Lewis added, urging buyers to capitalise on the less expensive rates.
