Are lenders about to start lending again?

The Bank Of England released figures yesterday that show mortgage rates have increased despite the reintroduction of riskier mortgage products and all this in the light of 0.5% base rate. It makes you wonder what the game plan is for the lenders who are not passing on the benefits of such low rates and it also makes you wonder about how toxic the banks balance sheets really are.

The answer is YES, but a bigger NO.
