Mortgage Rate Rise Inevitable?

"The Bank of England will raise the cost of borrowing by another quarter point next week.", are the words emanating from many financial analysts today although there are more than a few who are raising fears of an even greater rise.

A story today on The Telegraph website states that The Nationwide reports a 0.9% increase in average house prices for April 07 which means that annual house price inflation now stands at 10.2%. Whilst we have seen yet another price increase, the rate of increase has fallen suggesting that the slowdown has already begun.

We reported yesterday a similar theme from analysts and another rise in interest rates next week could go a long way to cool the house price boom we have seen in recent times. What will buy to let investors do now? Will there be mass mortgage panic - fixed rate or bust? Will repossessions skyrocket? We will try to bring you up to speed in our daily blog. Keep watching!

Can a policeman say that...?

"So, you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, right?"
