## Resource

Homeowners brace for a major mortgage shock as the Bank of England reveals over five million could face higher payments by 2028, fueled by global energy turmoil and inflation-driven rate hikes. Those rolling off fixed deals soon could see bills jump £45, while earlier lock-ins face £120 hikes—some even £170 for those on sub-3% rates. The ripple effect from Iran’s conflict has upended projections, forcing remortgagings and stalling expected relief. While overall household debt remains manageable, lower-income renters and borrowers feel the squeeze hardest from soaring energy costs.
