Average mortgage rates are predicted to rise from about 3.7% this year to a peak of 4.5% in 2027 .

This is 0.3% higher than previously predicted by the Office for Budget Responsibility .

Higher borrowing costs mean fewer people will be able to afford to buy, so house price growth is expected to slow down slightly.

Landlords and second -home buyers dealt a blow when the chancellor announced a surprise rise in stamp duty.
