The Bank of England warned that some 4 million households will face a sharp increase in mortgage costs, with the average borrower paying almost £3,000 a year more.
Governor Andrew Bailey said Wednesday that the surge in mortgage rates will have an “impact clearly” on finances as the central bank’s Financial Stability Report predicted that 1 million households face a £500-plus hike in monthly repayments.
