Bank ups interest rates to 4.25%
The Bank of England has raised UK interest rates by a quarter percentage point to 4.25%.
The move had been widely expected by economists and comes as the Bank tries to cool soaring property prices and consumer debt.

The increase is the third quarter-point rise the Bank has made in the past seven months.

It will leave homeowners repaying £15 a month more on a £100,000 mortgage with a previous interest rate of 5.75%.

Many analysts now believe the cost of borrowing could reach 5% by the end of the year.
