There are a few people on here who will be spitting feathers reading that.
Really true though. 100% spot on.
I know! I'm on a few hit lists already it seems, I'm even now getting accused of being Mr Ree or yourself in disguise. Not sure either of your chests are as impressive as mine LMAO
Ignore them, when they have no reasonable defense, they accuse us all of being each other. Distress makes them do that

100% will come back because banks like making money.
So banks will be making more out of home buyers. I suppose coupled with higher LTV and higher prices, the banks will be even better off, as will the revenue via increased stamp duty receipts.
It might be that savers benefit though, as banks will be able to afford to pay higher returns on savings, especially as they'll need to attract the extra money to lend out.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
Please allow me.

Now all this doom and gloom has vanished people can get back to making money.
This is the positive news we needed.
The government will start funding mortgages in the New Build scheme. This will lead to one or two banks or BS offering 100%. They will get all the business and force the others to follow.
Happened last time and will happen again.
Sit back and watch.
is that it? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: "umm banks will lend because they umm like lending" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
new build scheme will make banks offer 100% mortgages which will FORCE others to follow :rotfl::rotfl:

100% for a functioning market? I thought you said prices were rising everywhere dude? Isnt that 'functional'

The Govt. has made billions from stamp duty. The higher house prices, the more they get. That is one reason I have always believed that they wouldn't let house prices fail. They don't give a stuff about the general population, they care about revenue and stamp duty has been a nice little earner for donkey's years now, they won't let that go, nor would they let their posh houses that none of us can afford lower in value. Especially now we have a mainly Conservative govt. The writing was on the wall when Cameron got into power and I suspect as he helping the 'right' people in society now, rather than the wrong as labour did, he'll stay in power. Stamp duty, glad you metioned it, its one of the factors that will always fuel house price growth in this country.0 -

The Halifax will do what other lenders do. What they say now is irrelevant. If that is the best defense you can come up with, go make a coffee, pop into town and buy a brain and spend your time in a more productive way than making yourself look even more foolish than you have already.0 -

Out of interest, you have now paid off your mortgage and I would assume you have children.
How would increased house prices benefit you?0 -
