    Plus, they'll blame evil EU for all of this anyway.

    Just because they've paid off their mortgages does not mean value of their houses won't be affected in case of a lot of foreclosures in the remainder 1/3 who won't be able to afford payments.

    2/3 of homeowners own their houses outright (have no mortgage). They are unaffected.

    Of the remaining 1/3, 94% of new mortgages are fixed rate, for 2 or more years. They are unaffected.

    So, a 0.25% rate increase affects the minority of home owners.

    Overall effect == feck all.

    Well let's see what happens. The last set of consumer spending figures was down by a lot.
    It could be that the rate reduction in 2016 was right, and this is a mistake, especially now.

    Yeah because mortgage companies/credit card companies/loan companies only ever raise their rates by exactly the BofE base rate rise.
    Sometimes I wonder if you're just thick or both thick and deceitful.
