A month in repayments. Somehow, were supposed to spend less and find £750 extra a month to pay for that. So, you know, for many families, it is a terrifying situation. You know, if you have young families like ourselves who have been swayed into the Housing Market by government, whos advertised help to buy as an affordable scheme, right . When things become unaffordable, you cant simply turn around and say, thats your problem. A rise of 0. 25 Percentage Points would take the Bank Of Englands base rate to 5. 25 the highest since april 2008. For someone with an average Tracker Mortgage of £200,000, that would mean a rise of more than £23 a month. And for around 800,000 homeowners due to renegotiate their fixed deal in the second half of this year, it could mean an even bigger increase in their monthly repayments. Whites, good afternoon.
