No cheap mortgage payments for me.
Hooray for the buy-to-letters not finding it so easy though. I remember when we were looking for our first place to buy and every one we saw for ages had been already bought by Sara and Tarquin from fucking Islington or wherever.

Last summer everyone was saying "Get a fixed-rate mortgage, get fixed-rate energy tariffs" ... so we did.
