  • NO! It's already hard enough for FTB's without making them pay twice as much on interest
    I think the immortal Chuck Norris said it best, when he said.....
    So you think this was a serious poll rather than an equally silly one purely to demonstrate that exact point?

    YES! I want FTB's to get ripped off because it suits my crash agenda!
    Not half as ironic as being accused of sock puppetry by a sock puppet.

    You are only a sock-puupet insofar as you are the public face of a faceless organisation trying to peddle your won particular brand of propaganda to serve your own interests.

    One day you will realise you are just a pawn.

    when you actually become open-minded and a real person as opposed to the one-trick pony spouting polemic all day long you may be treated more like a real MSEr.

    To be honest I am quite happy for interest rates to rise and let prices correct to where they should be.

    Yes I am aware I will be ripped off on my mortgage for a good few years, but if interest rates are high then my it can only come down and reduce my payments, right now the only way is up.

    Missed the point there.

    The thread is about FTB's being ripped off and charged more for mortgage interest just becasue they don't have an absurdly high 25% deposit.

    Well its my choice to either stop saving at 10% or 25%, personally I am looking at 15% as it currently offers a lot better deals than 10% without taking to long to save.
