Halifax increases mortgage rate
BBC News: Lenders move to up mortgage rates
Halifax, the UK's biggest mortgage lender, has become the latest bank to increase its mortgage rate. The bank's standard variable rate will rise from 6.5% to 6.75%, equivalent to a £15 a month increase on a £100,000 repayment mortgage.

i think the BBC have underercalled the impact of the rate hike here (what a surprise)
interest payable on 100k at 0.25%(the hike) = £250 over a year
£250/12 does not equal £15. It equals £20.83
BBC dont you just love em

It's about 15 quid more on a repayment mortgage, and about 20 quid more on an interest only mortgage.
Kind of interesting to note that the poor idiots who have maxed themselves out in debt on an interest only deal will actually feel more pain and sooner than others.
