The Bank of England today raised interest rates by a quarter-point to 5%, erring on the side of caution as it seeks to keep a lid on prices.
The latest move, following August's surprise hike of 0.25%, is likely to cost homeowners with the average mortgage of £80,000 just under £13 a month, if lenders pass on the full rise.
The rate increase was widely expected by analysts, who are now pondering whether there will be another rise next year, possibly in February.
