Mortgage brokers and financial consultants have slammed the Government's Mortgage Guarantee Scheme, which it is suspected of extending in the forthcoming Autumn Statement. According to them, the program, which encourages banks to offer mortgages with 5 percent deposits, has become'redundant' and now has no gain for first-time and lower-income buyers. Concerns have also been raised about the affordability of 5 percent deposit mortgages in a high-rise environment, as well as the fact that purchasing a house with such little equity is prudent as house prices decline.

According to the most recent nationwide results, house prices have fallen at their slowest rate in the last 12 months since 2009. Now, the question on the lips of homeowners and house hunters is after years of runaway price growth - where will they head next?

On Thursday, the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee raised the base rate by 0.2 percentage points, taking it to 5.25 percent, the highest level since 2008, averaging of 5.25 percent.

According to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), inflation in the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell 7.9% in June, down from 8.7 percent in May. It means that interest rates are unlikely to rise as much as previously expected, though lenders have already priced in. However, the Bank also warned that although future increases may be limited, borrowers should not expect rates to decline to recent lows in the near future.

As household budgets continue to rise, demand for credit cards has also increased.
