Summary
Mortgages are one of the most important financial products most of us ever come across, but they're also complicated. With more than 7,000 products on the market, how do you pick the right one for you? It can feel pretty overwhelming and hard to choose the best product at a time when rates are held at 3.75% but expected to fall, and relaxed lending rules mean some people can borrow 6.5 times their salary over longer terms. We'll answer listener questions about trackers, what term you should pick, and what to do if you're a first-time buyer. Paul Lewis is joined by Sally Mitchell, a mortgage advisor at Versed Financial, and Paul Broadhead from the Building Societies Association. Presenters: Paul Lewis and Felicity Hannah Producers: Sarah Rogers and James Graham Editor: Jess Quayle Senior News Editor: Sara Wadeson (First broadcast 3pm Wednesday 11th February 2026)
