Eight major UK lenders have lifted mortgage rates across many home loans. Average fixed-rate deals are climbing, offering no relief to borrowers. The increases cover a wide range of home loan products.

The moves come ahead of 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 carried reports on 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 pricing in market pressures. The outlook for mortgage rates remains uncertain. Homeowners with expiring deals face steeper payments. New buyers are hit as well. Rising costs add to the strain on households.
