As many expected, the Bank of England has increased rates from 0.5% to 0.75% and for those of us that have a variable or tracker rate mortgage, we will soon receive a letter from our lender detailing the rise in monthly payments.
bbc.co.uk/news/business-4504…
However, as this rise was so widely expected, most lenders have not adjusted their fixed rate products and very competitive deals remain for those wishing to fix their outgoings for 2,3,5, and even 10 years.

News of faltering house prices will not be welcomed by the majority of home-owners, especially if they’re considering down-sizing but to first time buyers and those wishing to move upmarket, it will be more positive. (1/3)

It also makes a more sudden ‘adjustment’ (we don’t say crash these days…) in house prices less likely which coupled with the more benign outlook on interest rate rises, should keep housing transactions at a steadier level. (2/3)

Technology is amazing and has made life easier for most of us. But the current problems being experienced by @TSB shows that when technology fails the impact on customers can be immense. Everything may be more fragile than we realise. #TSB #TSBMeltdown

Government borrowing is down, but debt against GDP continues to rise. It’s not the whole story though as less borrowing means less public spending. So not totally good news.

There’s uncertainty as to whether there will be a base rate rise in May. The City thinks there will be a rise but Governor of the @bankofengland Mark Carney is more circumspect and he should know.

The announcement that Lloyds & Halifax plan to close a further 49 branches shows how it will become increasingly challenging to obtain face to face interaction with your bank in the future. It’s largely down to cost saving coupled with new technology. #Hampshire #Chichester

Interesting to see that the London Stock Exchange has a new leader in David Schwimmer – formerly of Goldman Sachs – and not to be confused with his namesake from Friends. Let’s hope he has more success than his predecessor who was ousted last year! #Hampshire #Fleet #Chichester
News that the Government is considering extending entrepreneurs’ relief to shareholders with less than 5% ownership is to be welcomed as it benefits a wider range of employers who can be rewarded for their efforts, not just the major shareholders. #Hampshire #Chichester
According to the Chancellor the economy is doing better than expected, but the focus remains on controlling the national debt. The Opposition see it as an opportunity to increase public spending. (1/2)

As usual different approaches – sometimes it would be good to see some consensus and a return to the middle ground. (2/2)
