The rate has increased from 1.75% to 2.25% - an increase of 0.5 percentage points
The Bank of England has announced it is raising its base interest rate to its highest level in 14 years. It is the seventh time in a row that the Bank has increased interest rates.The base rate is what the central bank charges other banks and lenders. This means that a rise in the base rate changes the rates banks charge you, so when interest rates are higher, borrowing becomes more expensive.
Five MPC members, including Bank Governor Andrew Bailey, voted for the 0.5 percentage point rise, while one wanted a 0.25 point increase. The three members backing a 0.75 percentage point rise said the energy price freeze could prompt households to spend money that they would otherwise have been eaten up with higher bills.
You'll usually be on an SVR type mortgage deal after your fix or tracker rate ends. Around two million people are on a variable rate mortgage. This latest rise means you'll pay around £25 more each month on a £100,000 mortgage. If you have a fixed-rate mortgage, your rates won't change while you're still in your current deal. However, you may find you end up paying more when you come to remortgage as rates continue to increase.

Virtual reality immersion compared to monitored anesthesia care for hand surgery: A randomized controlled trialIntroduction Common anesthesia practice for hand surgery combines a preoperative regional anesthetic and intraoperative monitored anesthesia care (MAC). Despite adequate regional anesthesia, patients may receive doses of intraoperative sedatives which can result in oversedation and potentially avoidable complications. VR could prove to be a valuable tool for patients and providers by distracting the mind from processing noxious stimuli resulting in minimized sedative use and reduced risk of oversedation without negatively impacting patient satisfaction. Our hypothesis was that intraoperative VR use reduces sedative dosing during elective hand surgery without detracting from patient satisfaction as compared to a usual care control. Methods Forty adults undergoing hand surgery were randomized to receive either intraoperative VR in addition to MAC, or usual MAC. Patients in both groups received preoperative regional anesthesia at provider discretion. Intraoperatively, the VR group viewed programming of their choice via a head-mounted display. The primary outcome was intraoperative propofol dose per hour (mg · hr-1). Secondary outcomes included patient reported pain and anxiety, overall satisfaction, functional outcome, and post anesthesia care unit (PACU) length of stay (LOS). Results Of the 40 enrolled patients, 34 completed the perioperative portion of the trial. VR group patients received significantly less propofol per hour than the control group (Mean (±SD): 125.3 (±296.0) vs 750.6 (±334.6) mg · hr-1, p|0.001). There were no significant differences between groups in patient reported overall satisfaction, (0–100 scale, Median (IQR) 92 (77–100) vs 100 (100–100), VR vs control, p=0.087). There were no significant differences between groups in PACU pain scores, perioperative opioid analgesic dose, or in postoperative functional outcome. PACU LOS was significantly decreased in the VR group (53.0 (43.0–72.0) vs 75.0 (57.5–89.0) min, p=0.018). Conclusion VR immersion dur
