I've responded to your assertion of 7% rates with a valid point.
Try answering it.
Show me this 2% above base tracker. And I will show you the issues surrounding it.
Then you can go back to harping on about mortgage rationing when it suits, and then reverting to the great deals available on another thread when it suits.
And I didn't even have an assertion about 7% rates. I merely picked an average type scenerio to do a comparison against, instead of picking 2 extremes and coming up with an answer.0 -
