Would you or anybody you know be in danger if rates went up another 2%?
The burden of taking out a mortgage has reached record levels, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).
In May, first-time buyers had to borrow 3.37 times their incomes to afford a mortgage, while other movers had to borrow 3.03 times their income.
Due to rising interest rates, interest payments for first-timers took up 19.1% of their incomes, the highest proportion since 1992.
IMO this is madness. If I were starting up I would be looking at re-locating abroad..
