Original Note:
The Bank of England independently sets interest rates based on economic data, not government policies. The August 7, 2025 cut to 4% was due to growth and inflation concerns. Lower base rates typically lead to cheaper mortgages. More: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/the-interest-rate-bank-rate
