If it's 10% for the first 6 months, it has to be 0% for the last 6 to balance the figures?

The funny bit is where the mortgage banks send dire warnings to the BoE about not overcooking interest rises, as if a mere slowing down of the rate of house price inflation represents at best a return to normality and at worst some kind of economic disaster!
