According to the Bank of England, a quarter of UK homeowners are at least 200 a month better done than this time a year ago, the Telegraph reports.
A survey of 2,000 households found that almost half of all people who make payments towards a mortgage debt have seen their monthly payments fall by more than 100 over the last year, with around a quarter seeing more than 200 knocked off their payments.
The Bank believes the `cushion on these terms for homeowners against the effects of recession, rising unemployment and the fall in house prices` has helped some householders cope with their debt problems.
However, the Bank `does not minimise` the damage caused by the recession and the credit crisis. Over one in four households with a `non-manual` worker have seen their income drop by more than 100 to an average of 3,981 after covering some of their expenses, such as task, housing costs, loan repayments and debts.
