    No point. Borrowers ,both business and individuals, won't see any benefit. Savers will lose out. Who wins?

    When do people think rates will start to go up again and what is your guess for BoE rate by January 2012?

    can someone point me the way to a decent mortgage calculator

    My sister is on a subprime at 7.74% paying £1159 on a 155k mortage.
    In April it becomes a BOE tracker plus a premium of 1.99%

    trying to work out how much she will be paying
