   She absolutely nailed it. If they rise, I predict it will be a social disaster and force people to shared ownership.

   Morgagee,s may rest assured that anyone (lucky enough?) to have any savings left have been similarly robbed by zero interest on most bank accounts. I am not talking about people with money but people prudent enough to provide with their own elderly care and funeral costs. More housing ?, we need so much more for our "uninvited guests".There again more teachers are being overloaded with children whose first language is not english. No wonder white working class kids are being left behind in schools today.

   If the loan rate goes from 2 to 4% its a doubling of monthly payments early in a mortgage when its all interest. in the 1980' we would have killed to get a 6% loan though.

   She talks about her parents. Valid Points until you realise even the basic rate of tax was higher benefits not as generous and crucially mortgage interest was 10+% so what you gained in lower property price you paid in interest instead.

   I was paying 15% interest on my mortgage. When the millennials etc are paying somewhere near that they might get my sympathy.
   You have it pi*s easy, stop moaning.

   its time to stop the banks profiteering on housing via mort.lending – separate housing loans back to building societies – second tax all offshore ownership and foreign ownership…. stop all dual nationality ownership of anything that is in the UK. If you dont pay taxes here then you are not entitled to own any property or business in the UK. and this is just the start… there in more

   Bankers are non productive parasites which means Mortgages should be free with Zero Interest. Carbon and Mortgage Zero could catch on. Hahaha.

    Left university 40-50 k in debt. Got job but cannot afford to rent so still live with parents. Was hoping to eventually buy but with inflation and rising interest rates hopes now dashed.

    Calling everything an emergency is cringe worthy mainstream media screeching. It is also rather frustrating to hear people moaning about every small step of the reset agenda. Nothing was hidden, it was all published and open, but people went along with it. Build back better. You will own nothing, and you will be happy.

    The British Baby Generation. Labour dopes? Getting into unaffordable debt is no one’s fault but yours? Affordable housing while 700,000 new folks arrive each year? How does that work? Slum Landlords filling their pockets. No mention though. Politicians useless chancers?

    Hopefully house prices will crash and normal people will be able to afford them.

    When I fixed for 10 years a few months ago I was slightly cross at myself for leaving it so late (so it seemed).
    Sadly, this could be yet another challenge to the next generation. Where will it end for them? Shit degrees, no pension, can't afford a house, rising taxes. Something's got to give.

    No, sky high prices and debt is the problem. Interest rates are part of the solution.

    Who is this random women taking. If interest rates go up house prices come down because of affordability. So she will be better off until the typing point is reached. It's the overstretched recent buyers that will suffer unless they fixed the deal

    what do you expect, with over ten years of artificially low interest rates. they were going to go up at some point, was just a matter of when

    Official inflation figures are as dodgy as Chinese figures.

    If an interest rate rise means your mortgage becomes unaffordable your either right at the bottom of the market and not at fault or your financially irresponsible and have been living a life you can't afford 🤷‍♂️
