Sing Along Day – The only way is down, baby
Eurozone crisis forces up mortgage rates for UK home owners
Mortgage rates have been creeping up in recent weeks and if the eurozone crisis implodes they could rise at a faster rate and be harder to get. Last week, Nationwide and ING both increased mortgage rates on selected deals. On Friday, Chelsea Building Society did likewise. For example, its two-year tracker rate increased from 1.69pc above Bank Rate to 1.89pc above Bank Rate.

I’m a little surprised there hasn’t been more movement on rates already. Whilst the politicians are indeed behind the curve, and mostly languishing in varying states of denial; the banks have no such illusions.
To quote my friend at Commerzbank recently: “The euro is dead, that is fully priced in now. We are just waiting for the funeral”
