House price crash signs
Originally posted by oliverson View PostIt is worrying that we have a whole generation of new home owners that have only ever experienced rock bottom interest rates. Before the crash, my mortgage rate was something like 4.5%. Going back further it was even higher. In the very early 90's I seem to remember them sky rocketing to over 13%!! Can you imagine what will happen to the market when rates do eventually rise to their normal levels? Example:
£ 300k mortgage over 25 years.
@2% - £ 1,280 a month
@5% - £ 1,773 a month
That's c. £ 500 per month increase, which is enough to put most people over the edge I would imagine, given people are maxing out on what they can borrow already.
