According to the news last night the government in the UK is thinking about putting a hefty rise on mortgage interest rates to try to control the house price boom. The figure mentioned was something like upto 8.5%. To give an idea of what this will do. on an £80,000 mortgage that rate will mean somethin like an extra £250 a month payment.
