Borrowing on the increase everywhere

The Express reported “prices have leapt nearly 10 per cent in a year, figures will show this week.
They are being buoyed by a perfect storm of pent-up demand, the seasonal spring rush, low interest rates, more affordable property prices and evidence that the banks are at last lending again”.
