bad news for mortgage holders as rbs-natwest raise their rates to 4% and 3.99% respectively.
many of us can remember paying around 15% so these still seem very low.
will cost 6 quid a week to someone with a £.100,000 mortgage which could make some struggle bearing in mind higher fuel prices and recently raised rail season tiokets.
the bank of england base rate has not risen causing allegation of profiteering from lenders.

Howard, I remember paying 15% but as rates came down I kept my payments the same as I could just about afford it. It meant that I paid off my mortgage a few years earlier.
