    Do not understand why Dan thanked someone who had not looked into something - and made their own assumption.

    I was attempting to reply but clicked on thanks by mistake. Got the hump and gave up.

    Coventry have been a very aggressive lender recently in terms of bagging market share.

    They justified it by requiring a 25% deposit.

    But that's been eroded by a 25% fall in house prices so IMHO they need to tread carefully over the next year.

    I can't see the logic in offering 100% mortgages and I shall be raising the issue with the Chief Executive at the AGM.

    At the last AGM he was proud to be "Mr. Cautious" compared to other irresponsible lenders who he took delight in slagging off.

    I'm sure the Chief exec is quaking in his shoes:rolleyes:

    I wouldn't call it irresponsible, just making sure good customers are on a decent fixed rate.
