I’ve often heard the expression that when a butterfly flaps its wings in one part of the world, it can lead to storms on the opposite side of the globe.

At the start of 2026, there was optimism for further cuts in interest rates this year. But now it seems as though these hopes have vanished, with rising oil prices raising the spectre of higher inflation. Just over a month since the latest conflict started, the turmoil in the financial markets is at its most intense since the infamous mini-Budget of 2022.

But while so much feels unpredictable and the markets feel chaotic, it’s reassuring to know that some things remain constant – the same support, stability and reliability you’ve come to expect from us here at ModaMortgages.

I’m proud of how we’ve handled the latest challenge. Our service levels have remained robust and, despite all of the noise around us, we’ve continued to show strength when it matters.

We remain committed to offering the solutions and the support you need to help you through the good times and the bad, and our sales team are always available whenever you need reassurance, guidance or simply to understand if we can help to place your case. They’re here to help you navigate the bumps in the road and keep you and your clients feeling like you’re on solid ground, even when the sands keep shifting.

So, if you’re feeling unsure about the market, or simply want to talk through an opportunity, don’t forget you can always contact your business development manager or call us on 01978 803333.
