Adviser verdict
David Pye, principal of Scottish Borders-based Meldon Independent:
“What concerns me at the moment is the lack of demand. Inquiries are dramatically down in the past couple of weeks so maybe this is why rates like these are falling. I would not be surprised to see that overall lending fell during April.”
