    So basically, rates won't rise then. Or at least not for a long time and in a meaningful manner.

    For these numbers to add up it has to be based on something like an interest only mortgage on £184640
    at 3.65% => £561pm
    at 5.65% => £869pm
    difference £308

    on a 25 year repayment at the same values the increase would only be £211

    (I think)

    Anyway "Unrealistic situation that isn't going to happen would cause problems shocker" is the crux of it.

    The sooner the better, my ISA is 2.8% + BOE base.

    You've got a good deal then, your currently getting 560% of the Base rate.
    As they rise (Lets say by 2%) to 2.5%, you'd only be getting 212% against the base rate ;)

    What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.

    So if the world ends when interest rates increase, how is this possible?

    Loans are being paid off and are not being replaced with new ones.
