When another poster mentioned a 10 times increase in IRs, it bought home the reality. That`s 5%!!!!!!!! Remember debates on here saying that a rate of 5% was incredibly low and we should be mindful of a return to the median, I think a little over 8%.
Had Gordon stuck to his words regarding not letting the housing market get out of control, I think sticking at 5% + might have helped. Imho, the rate of 0.5% is not just measure to help the economy, it is more like a cry for help.
Oh well, should have bought a couple of flats outright, but Mrs. Hancock was not into btl. I wasn`t keen also.0
