Dodgy ogrady up to her shady tricks again. The daily mail homeownerist editorial vacuum rolls on unmolested.

Presumably this is where the word ‘soaring’ holds negative connotations. Quite how soaring house prices is any more desirous than mortgage costs hasn’t been fully explained to me.

SBC – I can see where you’re getting confused… the way I like to look at it, is that high house prices and high housing costs are both really good things, just for different people. This for me is really good news – I love a high COST of housing…

>facing “shocking†mortgage rises
not shocking at all. what IS shocking though is how low the interest rates have been. go look at interest rates over the last 40 years.
>Hard-pressed families will be punished
no, families who borrowed too much are going to face the reality of their own decisions
>despite base interest rates being at a record low for three years
a lot longer than 3 years.

Exactly TT, it’s a status thing. The higher your non-discretionary outgoings, the more affluent you are.

Mortgage lenders provide customers with Key Facts Illustrations which include examples of monthly repayments if interest rates rise (typically by 1%) so it should hardly come as a total shock to borrowers. Perhaps the Government should do a million pound “your home is at risk” ad during the breaks in Britains got talent
Sib’s according to the gospel of the Express and Mail
Soaring house prices – “we are all wealthier”
Soaring mortgage/housing costs – “we are all poorer”

4.75% interest rates, that is so punishing-NOT!
But in the weird parallel universe where the writer lives it’s absolutely okay for the MPC to force people who have saved and are renting to subsidise home’owners’ via ZIRP, while helping to keep the price of houses up in the stratosphere.
I’m thankful for every NZ/Oz dollar and swiss franc I have kept outside this sh*thole of a country!

Remember that these folks are also victims. Bankers artificially reduce interest rates on purpose to suck people in. Then they ramp them up and foreclose. It really is fraud, mis-selling and theft.

I’ve only just noticed your headline “Joy For Homeowners As Mortgage Rates Soar” stroke of genius.
Looks like LIbertass has had his account hacked again by his alter-ego who talks sense. That sums up a large part of Home-Owner-Ism.
