Remortgage & Bad Credit Remortgage as Interest Rates Climb

As The UK's loan rates rise to 5.5%, which is the highest they have been since April of 2001, there has been a lot of concern about the millions that own homes who may now find that they are over stretched and might be forced to remortgage to handle the pressures of their monthly payments.

Experts at Experian caution that increased debt could easily rise in this environment, as pressures to afford payments elevate and consumers end up stretched financially, which leads to possible increases in IVAs and mortgage repossession as homeowners fall into arrears on their secured loans.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders estimates that just a 0.25% rise in rates could push the repayments on a loan of 140,000 pounds with term of 25 years at 5.48% up by as much as 21 pounds per month and interest-only capital mortgage repayments on the exact same loan up 29 pounds per month.

Clearly, increasing interest rates will increase financial demand on borrowers affordability and will possibly push some into mortgage arrears as they work to handle their credit and debt commitments on a monthly basis.
