My youngest daughter is 5 and she is 3ft 2 therefore by the time she is 15 she will be 9ft 6. Sorry moneyfacts but it's a struggle to take that kind of conjecture seriously.

Didn't really think it warranted much of a comment, its a rather arbitrary statement, ultimately it comes back to banks trying to make x% profit (from either the spread between base rate and headline figure or upfront fees) combine this with market forces, the state of the economy, interest rates, house prices etc....
