Eight major UK lenders have raised mortgage rates across many home loans. Average fixed-rate deals are climbing, leaving borrowers with no relief. The increases affect a wide range of home loan products.

The moves arrive before the Bank of England's next vote on interest rates. Inflation rose to 3.1 percent, heaping more pressure on mortgage pricing. The Times and The Telegraph carried reports on the rises. Borrowers looking for fresh deals or renewals will face higher costs. Many households are set to see monthly repayments go up.

The latest rise follows a string of increases. Lenders are responding to market pressures. The outlook for mortgage rates stays uncertain. Homeowners with expiring deals face steeper payments. New buyers are hit as well. Rising costs put households under more pressure.
