    it's not 2007 levels but no-one can deny it's not a step forward

    Agreed that it's not 2007 levels, not by a million miles. And I certainly won't deny the fact that it's not a step forward.

    This was talked about and has been going on for a while hasn't it? May not have been with the same building society, but there were the same type of product for those with over 100% mortgages before. We talked about them on here.

    exactly, that's why i keep saying that it's not 'good news' as it's a no-brainer from the banks and they've been doing it from the start.

    i'm pretty sure the Halifax or the Abbey announced these recently - once they start to become mainstream across other lenders it's the solution for those in negative equity to be able to move and buy another property.

    Also enables people to downsize reducing their debt exposure. Enabling them to address the negative equity more easily.

    Most lenders will entertain this idea on a case by case basis if the numbers stack up.
