    Yes the rate includes The Bank of England base rate unless otherwise noted. Usually this info is offered in the fine print of the ad.

    The base rate is just that - the base so when they advertise a mortgage rate it is the base rate plus the lender's own interest so there is no need to recalculate or add the base rate back in - it is already included.
