(Buckle up) Recession for more than a year

Can someone help me please?
I got my first mortgage in 2020 just before the pandemic hit.
It's on a fixed rates until early 2025.
But with what's going on at the moment mean I will likely get a massive leap in 2025?
Sorry I am trying to learn a lot more on things like this now I am a home owner.
You may be ok in that once inflation is under control the rates should come back down and if you are lucky this will be before your fixed rate ends.

A lot can change between now and then in terms of interest rates, but also keep in mind you will have a better loan to value in your property after paying off 5 years worth of mortgage
 
my 5 year fixed mortgage rate runs out next year (end of November) am i screwed ?
No, as long as you’ve not overreached yourself. When I first bought a house, in 1993, the interst rate was 7% and it went to double digits during the 90’s.
The low interest world of the last few years is very much the exception and not the norm.

Thanks for reply
 
Bailey hasn't explained how raising interest rates brings down energy or fuel or food costs. These are essential items and are rising due to market forces outside the UK. ?
they could do more by limiting what energy companies can increase charges for, I know the volatility in the market means energy prices are fluctuating but the gov could easily say that things like standing charges should remain static. and if a company advertises themselves as 100% renewable electric then they should be very limited in what they can charge increase wise on that.

Couple of years of inflation is great news for the government and why Sunak’s plan of cutting taxes in 2 years was much more sensible (if you believe cutting taxes is the priority, of course) than the Truss ‘plan’.
Tax revenues will shoot up and pay out will reduce as long as they increase benefits and public pay by less than inflation, which they will.

As with most economics, it’s more to do with events than any clever government policy. Of course, when it comes to growth, there are only 2 possible options, in a low unemployment economy. You either massively increase productivity, and given our relative lack of skills in technology solutions, and our unwillingness to invest in serious infrastructure projects, will be incredibly difficult (the NHS is the only area that has increased productivity year on year for the last 20 years), or you expand the workforce and we all know what that means!!
