Our SVR is changing to 5.94% – archived
SVR update
On 1 July 2022 the Society’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR) will increase from 5.49% to 5.94%. The difficult decision to make the change is in response to recent Bank of England base rate changes and follows a period where we have held the SVR for as long as possible.
The SVR increase to 5.94% also includes the Society’s Holiday Let SVR (HLSVR) and Commercial SVR (CSVR).
Below is more information for intermediary partners about what the change means for any cases currently in progress, as well as any action you may need to take.
Customer FAQs will shortly be made available at mhbs.co.uk/svrhelp.
