Interest Rates changes over 20 years
The mortgage interest rate is based on the Bank of England
Base Rate + between 1.5% and 2%
Over the last 20 years there has been some wild
fluctuation in the interest rate
between 5% interest rate for the whole year in
2002 and 15.4% in 1990
What do these wild fluctuations mean to you as
a borrower of a mortgage
£100,000 mortgage ( repayment mortgage )
monthly repayments ( 25 years ) at 5% == £591.27
£100,000 mortgage ( repayment mortgage )
monthly repayments ( 25 years ) at 10% == £918.06
£100,000 mortgage ( repayment mortgage )
monthly repayments ( 25 years ) at 15.4% == £1320.10
The above explains why in 1990 there was a slump in
UK house prices as people
were having trouble keeping up with their mortgage
If nothing else this should highlight that
you should remember that if interest
rates change due to circumstances beyond your control
YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND SIGNIFICANT INCREASES
