You obviously don't understand how debt-junkies think Mr.Brown
It's all about equity.
The more equity you have, the more you can borrow.
No equity, no money.

you've blatently missed the point once again. stick to telling the jokes to your internet buddies.Let's try to keep things very simple.
Here are two examples for you.
Moving up the ladder...
Buy 100k property. Better property is 200k, but can't afford that yet.
With 0% HPI the gap remains the same.
With 10% HPI you have a 100k property now worth 110k and the 200k property is now worth 220k. The difference is 10k more.
Therefore you are 10k WORSE off through HPI.
FTB...
Wanted to buy a 100k property.
0% HPI - one day I can.
10% HPI - property becomes 10k more expensive.
Therefore you are 10k WORSE off through HPI.
i've tried to explain it to you simply but i'll let someone come and along and explain it in crayon for you... much more your level0 -
