ans and mortgages that have been driving the property prices skyward. A general consensus appears to have been reached that the previous interest rates increases and the prospect of more have made lenders hedge their bets.

The saying “stuck between a rock and a hard place” is really apt when looking at the situation of people who bought their first home in the last while. The interest rates increased since the purchase which piles additional pressure on them. In addition to that, many people are coming to the end of the fixed rate period of their initial loan and it is at this point that many people would look around to find more favourable deals. They’re out of luck because in the space of a week lenders have altered their rates noticeably. The lenders have also largely eliminated fixed rate loans and mortgages if they have not increased the rates of those options.

Currently homeowners could rely on the value of their home increasing so that if they encountered a worst case scenario they could use the increased value as leverage to gain another loan. The increased interest rate is also forcing people to use more and more of their income to pay off their loan. This is an extremely dangerous situation for those people who borrowed high multiples of their salary in order to purchase their home in the first place. This has left many of them in a position where they have no additional resources to help tide them over if rates increase again. For many of the people who are in that position, fixed rates were haled as their saviour.

This is unfortunately no longer the case as the extreme demand for those types of loans has lead to a major increase in the rates. Many people who would be looking for an alternative in the near future when their current fixed rate period expires will find far higher rates than before. The market for loans is suddenly drawing away from the low cost loans and mortgages that have been driving the property prices skyward. A general consensus appears to have been reached that the previous interest rates increases and the prospect of more have made lenders hedge their bets. This is leaving those who have homes stuck with their current rates which often increase drastically after a fixed rate period so lenders can make up any losses.

For those people who borrowed beyond their means to get onto “the Property Ladder” there is the spectre of debts piling up to haunt them for their thoughtlessness. People in this situation often feel like they are with lending institutions which care nothing for their ultimate fate as long as payments continue. This may or may not be true, but one thing that is true is that people need to be realistic when analysing whether they can afford a property. They need to analyse whether the options available will leave them with enough leeway to cope with increases. If you stretch yourself too far you will land up with far less than you began with.
