Increase of 0.25% to 0.75% in June 2011

I think a 0.25% rise in august 2011, follwed by another 0.25% in January 2012.

Saying that I think BOE could guarantee to freeze rate for say 4 Years, to get the house market moving again.

There's only been one vote (not votes) for an increase.

kabads - yes, but one vote three times. Just the way I worded it I guess. See the MPC voting decisions in post #2.

Bit silly though - if this happens and then if that happens then something else might happen which might lead to 8%.

Still FB, by then your mortgage will be paid off so you'll be looking for high base rates . And as long as inflation gets up to 10% the value of mortgage payments will only be a pint of beer in no time. It will all be fine. Hopefully
