INTEREST RATES AT 0.5% - THE EFFECTS FOR PROPERTY
By Peter Wood, Director, Investment.
Interest rates in the UK are the responsibility of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England.
Interest rates are set and adjusted by the Bank as one of the means of managing the UK economy and trying to ensure the County’s best financial interests are served by setting of Bank base rate.
The Bank of England Base Rate was at a ‘historic high’ of 5.5% as far back as February 2008. I say historic on the basis this was 2½ years ago. Base rates then plummeted, given the timescales involved, to 0.5% at the beginning of March 2009.
The July meeting of the Bank of England again voted to keep the base rate at 0.5%, this for the 16th month in a row. With inflation (CPI and RPIX) consistently operating within a band of 1% up to 5.5% for the last two years and with RPIX inflation (excluding mortgage interest payments) still at 5% in June 2010, there is a real erosion of value for those with savings and cash based assets.
