real estate market remains still quite strong. The fast growing mortgage rates still cannot make customers refuse from property loans. The current session of the Bank of England will possibly bring in the new rate increased by 25 basic points.
European economy data has been recently brought to public. It should be admitted that the unemployment rate reached the maximal level in Germany for the last 11 months, while retail sales went high.
The absence of ‘cooling down’ in the British real estate market makes specialists admit a very slight effect from the range of credit rates rises by the Bank of England. The increase in property prices is nowadays the main threat for British economy.
