UK Mortgage Crisis: Share Your Experience of Rising Interest Rates

AI Summary
The Guardian invites readers to share their experiences of being affected by rising mortgage rates or losing mortgage deals due to the Iran conflict's impact on the UK mortgage market.

The conflict in the Middle East is having far-reaching effects beyond the region, impacting UK mortgage rates and consumer confidence. In response to surging oil prices and inflation fears, lenders have pulled hundreds of mortgage products, replacing them with more expensive deals.

According to Halifax, average UK house prices fell by 0.5% in March, with demand affected by higher mortgage rates. The Guardian wants to hear from individuals who have lost mortgage deals or been affected by rising interest rates.
