    The gormless smiley chuckles of the threesome. Oh my. It'll never last.

    My dog cannot develop property. By the silly woman's own admission I can infer that she can't either.

    My question with the trio of ''creatives'' is how did they get a mortgage freelanced like that, exposed to property already?

    Fraudulent lending/borrowing, like sooooo many others.

    You should note that this site doesn't check my status as not being a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it. Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as financial advice.

    this makes me understand more as to why people are still buying even now......the people are stupid
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Yes, but it still astounds me. We were creatives...and know the unpredicatability of work income. I kind of thought BTL mortgages would have been to buy to let: so these are presumably self cert ones, but it all just seems so bizarrely risky and unbalanced an investment decision that I find it hard to believe people really did it.

    I don't know who eric pebble is though:confused:

    that is because what has happened is astounding.

    You have more or less answered your own question.
    If people actually thought through what has occured, the magnitude of the fraud and theft which has been carried out would astound everyone.

    The tragedy is they don't.
