Anna Williamson has been hunting for a flat in London since January. In that time, average rates for new mortgages have jumped multiple times, each limiting the pool of what she can buy. Grace and Howard are anxiously waiting to see how much further the cost of borrowing will have risen by September, when they have to renegotiate the mortgage on a flat they bought last year. Mary is hoping to complete her purchase as soon as possible, after bringing forward her decision to buy in the hope of beating ever-rising costs.
