Hot weather has definitely now arrived, so too the usual plethora of pre-Christmas Sales to stimulate the lacklustre retail sector.    

Despite the Reserve Bank leaving official rates steady at 1.5%, several Banks have taken the opportunity to increase their fixed, investment and some variable rates. This is a pretty sure sign that rates have bottomed and lenders will grab some extra margin where they can before rates inevitably move northward (but not for a while yet).

In my final eNewsletter for 2016, I take a look at the year that was, and introduce you to the wonderful uses of white vinegar for keeping your house looking spic and span this Christmas (without having to buy expensive cleaning products!).

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday period and an exciting new year.  Please devote a little of your time over this break to review your loans. You can call me or drop me an email if you’d like to review your current finances against today’s market. If you’re considering refinancing your mortgage, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Can you believe this year is almost over? There’s only 7 weeks left to Christmas as we count down to the end of 2016 – and what a rollercoaster year it’s been and we now have Donald Trump as the President elect of the United States.
