Dagenham and Rainham families struggling with annual mortgage payment increase of £4,200.

10,000 households in Dagenham and Rainham are struggling from the Tory mortgage penalty as families face annual mortgage payment increase of £4,200 this year under the Conservatives

Labour analysis reveals that the average household in Dagenham and Rainham is set to be put under more pressure than ever by Conservative mismanagement of the economy.

Analysis from the Labour Party allows people to search the amount that mortgages are predicted to rise, including by £4,200 pa in Dagenham and Rainham.

It follows the news that many mortgage deals are being withdrawn by Banks and interest rates being increased, with Moneyfacts data suggesting the typical rate on a two year fixed-rate loan had increased to almost 6%, almost double a year ago, and the Resolution Foundation estimating that 6.5m households will be affected by the post-mini budget rise in mortgage rates by 2026.

This week, economists warned that there is a real risk of job losses and a sharp recession. The latest forecasts of economic growth this year suggest that the UK is struggling to get out of the slow lane, with growth of just 0.2% forecast on the year.

Margaret Mullane, Labour’s Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Dagenham and Rainham, told the Havering Daily:

“The Tory mortgage penalty is devastating for family finances and is holding back our economy.

“The country is buckling under 13 years of Conservative mismanagement and a crashed economy, and it is families being asked to pay more on their mortgage and private renters are also being squeezed by astronomical rents to landlords .

“People are asking themselves whether they or their family are better off under the Tories. The answer is no.

“Labour will bring financial and economic security back, so that families are not constantly on a cliff edge, and so that we can urgently grow our economy to grab hold of opportunities of the future.”
