I seem to recall Carney himself talking of a rise this year, too. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Oh and on a personal note - it can stay low - say 0.5% for the next 5 yrs or so ( when I hope to have cleared the mortgage) and then it can increase - to say 17% (the rate my 1st mortgage was at) as I will by then be saving more

I'd very much like it to go higher, so house prices come down and we have a chance at saving a half decent deposit.

I'd like it to go higher so there's some sodding point to having savings at all.

It won't happen for the foreseeable future, according to channel 4 news. Great.
