I was looking at some historical rates today and noticed that in 1989 the rate went to 15%. 6% doesn't seem to bad. Mind you I am not sure if that was on the day that it went from 7.5% to 15% on the same day. It then went back down the following day. I am pretty sure it was something to do with currency speculators, but I could be wrong and often am!

I think you may well see it go higher than 6% by this time next year, but this is still fairly low in comparison to historical rates.

when I bought my first flat it was £10 per 1,000 per month, no such thing as fixed rates and endowments were all the rage, oh and rich financial advisers in the burgh were 10 a penny

£33K flat on £450 a month, that was tight!!!!!!! thankfully they would only lend 3xsalary
