No matter how much you say all this stuff, funding was not simply withdrawn. Property crashed. It crashed for a reason. it crashed because the funding you are talking about that was withdrawn was funding such as 125% mortgages. We had 125% mortgages because people simply could not afford to buy a home in this country. So, more than the cost of the home was lent to allow people to buy.
No matter how many silly affordability figures you give us (which relies hugely on todays base rate and couples both working full time etc) the fact remains property crashed because prices were not affordable, and still aint.
So keep giving us the figures, keep telling everyone property is more affordable now than ever. It's simply NOT TRUE in the real world. It may be true on a piece of paper. But out there in the real world, we have crashed because your argument is simply not true, and does not apply to the real world.
Bankrupcy rates are going up, stress releated to finance going up, benefits bill to keep people living going up etc etc etc. I just wish you would stop painting this rosy picture of yours and spurting out the same figures which are massively influenced by base rates, and LOOK at the real world out there.
chill with a cold one.
