Household bills represent major expenditure for
any household. With fuel, energy and food prices soaring most people
are looking to ways to reduce their household bills, click here for
tips
for reducing gas, electricity, phone, broadband and other household
bills.
The credit crunch has made it much more difficult
to find an affordable mortgage. See our mortgage page for advice on
finding the most suitable mortgage.
House prices appear to be stabilising after
falling over the past year or so and this offers
opportunities for first time buyers to find a home they can afford, see
our buying
a home page for tips. Others think that it is better to rent
in the current climate see our renting a home page for
useful information.
The Savings and Personal Finance section also
includes credit
and
debt, including credit cards, personal loans,
insurance
and mortgages.
The uncertainty surrounding financial markets and
the economy mean that many of us might be better focussing on credit
and debt management than saving and investing. See our credit and
debt page for information.
UK interest rates are reviewed monthly by the Bank
of England's
Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). The MPC has responded to falling house
prices and a weakening economy by cutting rates to historic lows. In
some ways the Bank of England Lending rate is less important than the
rates banks use to lend to each other. The credit crunch has resulted
in some mortgage rates rising despite cuts in the Bank of England rate,
the bad news for savers is that very high savings rates are no longer
available but it is worth shopping around for the best rates. See the My Money Jungle Blog
for good savings rates available on line.
