Lack of Anticipation of Effects Can Affect the British

There have been a lot of whispers about Bank of England lately and the assumed raise of interest rates.

Any type of raise would clearly influence home owners, but here’s an example of how a small increase can look like for a monthly budget: a 0.25% rise of rates would mean that a typical variable mortgage repayment could cost an extra £13 a month.
