Eight major UK lenders have increased mortgage rates across many home loans. Average fixed-rate deals are climbing, with no respite for borrowers. The increases cover a wide range of home loan products.

The moves take place before the Bank of England's next vote on interest rates. Inflation rose to 3.1 percent, adding further pressure to mortgage pricing. The Times and The Telegraph both reported the rises. Borrowers looking for new deals or renewals will face higher costs. Many households will see monthly repayments go up.

The latest rise comes after several increases. Lenders are responding to market pressures. The outlook for mortgage rates is still uncertain. Homeowners with expiring deals see higher costs ahead. New buyers face the same pressure. Rising costs put households under more pressure.
