Mortgage and interest rises to come: Merryn Somerset Webb
A "normal" mortgage today would be around 7% - and people know the current mortgage and interest rates are not normal - said the editor in chief of the personal finance magazine Money Week.
Merryn Somerset Webb said there was still time to get a five-year fixed rate at 2.5%, but "that was unsustainable anyway" in the longer-term.
She spoke to Andrew Neil about a likely rise in mortgage rates, and whether people could afford to pay the higher amounts, if and when they go up.
