Rate change information - Rosinca

Rate change information

 

We’ll always write to you before your interest rate changes. The letter we send you will tell you about your new rate and when your monthly payment will change, and you won’t need to do anything until you receive our letter.

There’s more information below about what happens when your interest rate changes.

Rate rise calculator

See how an interest rate rise could affect your monthly mortgage payments.

Rates have changed several times in recent years, so planning now can help you prepare for any future increases in your payments.

Using this tool

You’ll need to know your outstanding balance, type of mortgage (interest only or repayment), current interest rate and how long is left on your mortgage.

If your mortgage is made up of multiple sub-accounts you can enter details for each part separately.

Understanding the results

Our calculator shows the increase in monthly payments, for a repayment or interest only mortgage, at a range of different interest rates.

The results you’ll see are based on the information you have entered for your current balance, interest rate and remaining term.

Our calculator uses a simple method to determine the amount of interest you’ll pay as part of your monthly payment, by dividing the total amount of interest you’ll pay over a full year into 12 equal monthly amounts.

Since interest on your mortgage may be calculated differently (such as on a daily basis), then the actual change in your monthly mortgage payments after an interest rate increase may differ slightly to the figures shown in the calculator.

This means the results should only be used as a guide.

When is an interest rate change triggered?

All Rosinca Mortgage customers are on a Product Variable Rate (PVR). This means your interest rate will always be a set percentage amount above the Bank of England (BoE) base rate (BBR) for the full term of your mortgage.

Your rate will usually change at the start of the month after the Bank of England announces a change in BBR.

We won’t be able to tell you what your new monthly payment will be if you call us immediately after a change in the BBR has been announced. This is because we need to apply the rate change to your account and calculate your updated payment.

You’ll be able to check any change in your monthly payment by signing into Self-Serve. After we’ve applied the change to your account there’ll be a message about your new payment amount on the account summary screen. Find out more here.

We’ll also write to you before any change in your monthly payment takes effect.

 

The current base rate

The most recent change in BBR to its current 5.25% was announced on 3 August 2023.

We wrote to you in late August 2023 to confirm your new rate and when your monthly payment would change. That rate will continue to apply until after any further change to BBR is announced.

If you’re paying an extra amount on top of your normal monthly payment as part of an agreement to clear or reduce your arrears, it’s important to continue paying that extra amount. But if your monthly payment has increased and you’re struggling to keep up the arrangement we’ll need to reassess your situation.

When you’re making regular monthly overpayments, it’s a good idea to check you’re happy with the amount you’re overpaying after an interest rate change. Depending upon how your overpayment is set up and whether your normal monthly payment has gone up or down, you may want to check and adjust the amount you’re overpaying. There’s more information about making regular monthly overpayments on our Overpayments page.

If you make your monthly payments by Direct Debit you don’t need to take any action, we’ll collect the new payment amount when this is due.
