    Interest rates on hold for 5 years

    It could be longer. How long have Japan had a negligible interest rate? We seem to be modelling our economy on theirs.

      Yeah but it won't stop the banks to actually increase mortgage rates.

        glad mine is on a tracker at .5% above the boe rate
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

          Then somebody less fortunate will have to pay even more to make for loss banks take with your mortgage...

            WHS

            .48% in my case.

            That credit card stooze is looking clever.

              They could even be coming down by .25% if the Euro does keel over. Great for anyone on a tracker mortgage (ah, that will be me )

                I've got a repayment mortgage tracker on 0.65 above base rate which I'm considering paying off. Surely it's worth me settling it early as I have to make the principal repayment every month as well as the interest component?

                  wow, just switched most of my dosh into a fixed isa for 3 years at 4.2%

                  a slight risk but looks like it was the right thing to do

                    Snap, Actually mine is 0.49% above. Good news if it last out the 5 years.
