Mortgage holders today faced more pain after the Bank of England unexpectedly pushed up interest rates to 5 per cent, the highest level in almost 15 years. The move could deepen the crisis as borrowing costs are hiked up for the 13th time in a row - adding an estimated £47.43 to the average monthly tracker payment. The 0.5 percentage point rise was the sharpest increase since February, surprising economists who had been expecting a smaller hike of 0.25 percentage points.

Britain's households face further mortgage pain as interest rates soar and monthly costs surge, with things unlikely to improve while inflation stays stubbornly high. Homebuyers and homeowners searching for a new loan today face paying a rate above 6 per cent on a two-year fix - more than double average rates two years ago. Now, the Bank of England is expected to raise the base rate by 0.25 percentage points tomorrow, taking it to 4.75 per cent, but it could even go up by 0.5 points.
