A warning has been issued to millions of homeowners who are due to get a new mortgage. Anyone whose fixed or variable-rate mortgage is nearing the end of their term, or those wanting to remortgage, are being told that they should act fact.
This is because the best new mortgage deals are typically on offer for just 15 days before they are pulled by banks, according to the BBC. Financial information service Moneyfacts says this is now the shortest shelf life in six months, leaving home buyers with less time to make big decisions.
Around 1.6 million people will need to make an important choice this year when their current mortgage rate expires. Locking in a fixed-rate deal puts you on the same rate for two to five years - sometimes longer - whilst choosing a variable rate means the amount you pay can go up or down in line with interest rates.

Doing nothing when your fixed rate term ends would leave you on a variable rate deal, which puts you at risk of paying much more for your mortgage due to the current interest rate being high, reports the BBC.
At the start of March, there were 6,000 mortgages to choose from, according to Moneyfacts, the widest selection since 2008. At the start of February, new deals lasted an average of 28 days.
The average rate of a two-year fixed deal is now 5.8 percent, according to Moneyfacts, and is starting to go back up.
Jo Jingree, from Mortgage Confidence, said: "Some lenders only give a few hours' notice of a rate change. That creates a situation which is less than ideal because taking out a mortgage can be a huge financial commitment that could impact them for years to come."
