SOFT LANDING OR A DIP FOR 2003?
In the second half of this year, house
prices will grow more slowly, says
Nationwide economist Alex Bannister:
■ Wj anticipate interest rates which
remained at 4% across 2002, will rise
to 4.75% by the end of 2005, making
mortgages more expensive.
■ Increases in National Insurance and
relatively small pay rises will make
it harder to stretch salaries.
