My girlfriend that was in the process of getting a mortgage at time will happily have a word with you.
Hamham-
As was I, Mortgage rates had been on a steady rise months before the mini budget. We historically follow the Feds rates, do you think Liz crashed the US economy too? As people have said here she certainly didn't help in the short term but what has been happening had been baked in for years. In addition the billions pumped into economies worldwide while everyone sat at home was the cherry on the cake. There are many more people to blame for the current climate than Liz Truss.

I'm no fan of Liz truss or the conservatives but I do find the whole Liz Truss crashed the economy/Thanks to Liz truss my mortgage is £500 higher thing funny. Maybe if you were unlucky enough to have remortgaged during the 6 month period after the mini budget there is a chance you paid 0.5% to 1% more on your mortgage due to the sentiment of the mini budget.
I've heard it too many times now from intelligent people, if someone wants prove me wrong i'm happy to hear the arguement but in my mind its just people bleating on what they've been told by the media.
