FCA mortgage rules consultation closing date
Tuesday 28th July, 2026
The FCA consultation is asking for feedback on proposed mortgage-rule changes—covering flexible repayment assessments, updated guidance for retirement interest-only products, and revised interest-only lending rules—and responses are due by the closing date. This matters to Rightmove because changes could widen mortgage access and reshape which properties buyers and renters can afford, so it gives you a chance to comment on how proposed rules would affect market accessibility, move-up demand and search trends across the UK.
Why have we flagged this?
Direct, timely relevance to Rightmove’s core audience — the consultation could change mortgage access and buyer affordability, so Rightmove can lead with data-led commentary, search trend analysis and guidance for buyers, renters and agents as responses land.
