It's a good measure of how bad the argument has been lost.
The lack of any discussing the points put forward and a simple insult in response, simply says to me, it annoyed you and you had nothing to say
I've discussed my points to which you took offence or either no notice.
Go back and read thru them again,something along the lines of ........not everyone is on a low IR and most probably will be paying in the region of 4-5% at the mo.
So if and when rates do rise it aint gonna be that spectacular a hit on the mortgage repayment.
Yet the majority here are foaming at the mouth hoping to pick up these much touted distressed sales when IR rise.Official MR B fan club,dont go............................0 -

I did read them. No offence taken. Not sure why I would take offence!
But I generally don't discuss things which have already been discussed. The fact that not everyone is on an SVR is well known, and has already been talked about in this thread.
The same applies, I could simply say "not everyone is fixed". But thats not an argument, and it simply makes it very easy to put your point across.
Not everyone is on a tracker, no, but as already discussed by others (so no point my echoing them and copying what they have said)......not everyone is on fixed either.
No point in just looking past everything thats happening now and saying "well its ok, some people are fixed". A hell of a lot of them, as you well know, will be coming off fixes soon, within the next year or so.0 -

Yes so many have been paying quite high fixed mortgage and have seen the very low rates about and think great when mine comes to an end I can get a super low rate.
But unless the fixed term comes to an end soon they will miss it, already creeping up.
Also the only super low rates are indexed linked, great if IRs stay low but who actually believes this?
The only fixed rates arent all that great anymore, its seems the bottom of IRs is behind us now, only one way from here.0
