The ten year gilt rate is the one to watch as the best guide to future mortgage rates apparently, if that goes up too much then short term rates will also be rising.
The banks will basing their deals off the ten year though is what Ive read0 -
Just thought it'd be interesting to revist this thread, as we're two thirds through the year since we all did the poll. My understanding is that the the Nationwide average house price for the end of August was £160,244 and the last report for the end of April 10 had the average price of £167,802. That's an increase of £7,578, which I make to be a 4.72% increase so far since we all made our guess.
God, even Hamish is looking bearish at the moment...
