    joined the Nationwide in claiming that the rate of decline was starting to stabilise when looking at three-month comparison figures
    house prices should hit a maximum of 15% next month and fall no further,
    according to Ray Boulger, of mortgage brokers John Charcol.
    the average mortgage rate paid by new borrowers rose from 5.88% in August 2007 to 6.1% in August 2008 despite a three-quarters of a percentage drop in the Bank rate over the same period. The average mortgage rate for those with existing mortgages has dropped from 5.91% in August 2007 to 5.83% to August 2008

    The word Buy-To-Let will become like the word Yuppy, a word of derision & ridicule that perfectly some up a bizarre period of history. :rolleyes:
