"I have heard it from a few good sources that the interest rate will rise on Thursday. I have a feeling this will be the start of more.
Interesting times coming that’s for sure "
How much do you think it will rise? |

The Bank of England has been far too slow to raise interest rates, and we are paying the price through higher inflation than was necessary. It's gross incompetence on the BofE's part, and I'm amazed that Bailey still has a job. Though nowadays I'm not sure why I'm surprised, incompetence is endemic in the public sector.
It's going to be tough for people who have stretched their mortgages to the hilt, but in today's climate I'd fully expect the government to start paying everyone's mortgage before they let any homes get repossessed. They are already paying everything else so an extra couple of trillion can't hurt. |

If you have a fixed rate debt then there is nothing to worry about, if you have no debt and save there is nothing to worry about. |

"I was told it could jump to 3.5% tomorrow.
Doing a quick bit of Googling just now and it seems that it’s likely "
I doubt it will be the last this year  |

Yes, a lot of people predicted this coming for years ago and fixed mortgages on low rates for long terms when they had the money to pay it off. Keeping the money in the bank and when the interest rate goes up it will give better returns |

Since the financial crisis of 2008 interest rates have ben pretty much stuck at 1% or less until very recently. Rates of 5% or 6% were normal.
A central bank cannot leave interest rates low indefinitely, at some point they need tom come up. It does suck for those who overstretched on their mortgage borrowing but at the end of the day that's on them. |

Yep think that's a given. Only question is by how much I guess. Just watching the news now and their saying in America rates will continue to rise but may be at a slower pace than recently. Think the ECB are also doing it. Seems to be the weapon of choice in most countries - hope they are right |

The question I ask myself, is exactly how many are affected straight off the bat, would most with mortgages not have fixed rates, so, little short term effect.. those with savings get the greater benefit straight away.. I just don’t know what proportion of people with mortgages in uk have gambled on variable rates..
What it will do for definite is deter new mortgages being taken out for higher values than affordable and bring house prices down, seen it before and history does repeat… |

True, house prices are far to high so this will be a good thing |

"House prices will fall slightly, maybe 5% at most but I can’t see them falling any more as there is a massive shortage! "
Quite, interest rates are only part of the picture in house prices. In the main that is driven by supply and demand. In the UK we have too many people chasing too few houses, which is the main thing driving prices higher. |

Yep. A drop in house prices will only be a short term market adjustment due people getting twitchy over increased borrowing costs. Ultimately the only way to consistently stop house price inflation is to build more houses! |

Estate agent knocking of enquiring customers and being compensated for lost fees by the government.
Its a very original idea. |

Was tempted to carry on the tongue-in-cheek pensioner thread here but doubt it will go down well!
But then...
All people over age of 80 MUST enter a care home freeing up their home for sale. |

Well with net immigration above 300k there are probably less drastic ways of reducing demand.
Still, no doubt those welcoming all the Albanian doctors and school children with open arms will be happy to pay the higher mortgage costs. It's a small price to pay for some virtue signalling. |

I'm glad you have a plan to house 300k extra immigrants a year on top of the usual natural births.
Personally every time I see the immigration figures I go laughing all the way to the bank. |

No plan. I don't work for the government or in the housing sector.
Just poking fun at people who blame things on a small group of foreigners. |

Really…. Because if you ask the CBI what is the one thing holding businesses back … it’s that they can’t get people they need in … at the moment there are more jobs available than people who can take them up |

So what's that got to do with housing demand and pricing?
Let's assume that the 300k extra people this year are all highly skilled, immediately employable, and hard working readily assimilating citizens. In what way will their arrival reduce house prices? |
