Figures released in March showed the Consumer Prices Index annual rate of inflation had risen to 4.4% from 4% in January, driven by food, fuel and clothing costs. New figures have also been published by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) which shows there was little rise in the amount available to borrowers in February, so those looking to purchase a new home are facing low levels of lending from banks to help them do so. The CML report that it is likely to be a ‘challenging year’ for both consumers and the market as a whole, with little movement in the housing market.
Research from the Money Advice Trust shows that 1.4 million adults sought debt advice last year, with that figure predicted to increase this year, and the general advice to people is to prepare themselves to face changes to their financial circumstances and not to commit to large amounts of credit, as paying off credit cards etc. could see people unable to keep up with their living costs.
