Interested in Interest?

PR Log (Press Release) – Jul 24, 2009 – Has there ever been so much interest in interest? Since the credit crunch it seems that everyone is an economics expert and if you have friends on tracker mortgages telling you how much they are saving each month thanks to the reduced rates, you are probably tired hearing about it. However it is an interesting time for interest rates.

Apart from the smug friends on tracker mortgages now is a good time to be a borrower, although borrowing options may have reduced what is out there is available at good rates. This is impacting on the minds of the nation in that consumers are seeing now as a good time to commit to a large purchase. Plus the feeling that house prices can’t slip much further is also making home owners feel more secure.

Since interest rates are down it does mean that savings aren’t making much money which is seeing everyone become more flippant. What is the point of putting money away for a rainy day if there is nothing to gain from it? That is why property is a good option at the moment and why parents with savings are helping their children step onto the property ladder.

Rental yields are also strong at the moment and offer a good return on investment. First time buyers are looking at purchasing now with the prices being low along with interest rates.
