Q: I notice how many mortgage companies mention an interest rate and then an APR (annual percentage rate) a bit higher.

How is this annual percentage rate calculated? Is it simple or is it a computer calculation? Which rate would I really pay? — R.T.

A: Let’s say you take out a loan for which you’ll be paying 4.5 percent interest every year.

But the lender also requires a bit of extra interest, just once, at the beginning.

If he wants you to pay an extra 2 percent of the loan up front, you’re being charged two points.

In all, you’re really paying slightly more than 4.5 percent.

How much more?

As you suspected, a computer is the best tool for calculating the true annual percentage rate.

Federal law requires it to be disclosed, so you can compare different loan offerings.

In practice, it mostly just confuses people.

A lack of mortgages for first-time buyers, historically high house prices and stagnant wages have led to soaring numbers of young people stuck in private rented accommodation.

The proportion of low and middle income (LMI) earners aged under 35 and renting has more than tripled from 14% in the late 1980s to 47% now, according to the Resolution Foundation. In its Squeezed Britain report it said that during the past six years the number of LMIs under 35 who owned a home plummeted from 51% to just over a third.

The foundation said housing costs became a huge burden for tenants during the past decade, with private sector rents increasing by a third in real terms between 1999-2000 and 2009-10.
