Yesterday, the Bank of England raised the base interest rate to 5.25%.
One of the main reasons behind this move is alleged to be the expected continuation of the house prices increases in 2007.
This is the third rise in a row within 5 months.
However, the European Central Bank decided keep its rates flat at 3.5%.
Estate Agents Maidenhead indicate that this will have serious effects on the Maidenhead and Berkshire property market.
