    Shortround does this frequently and avoids answering the questions that require some thought. According to him, 30%/40% of mortgages on the lenders SVR's rate means that the majority of UK mortgages are on SVR'S rates. Very strange.

    I think I might just do that Thrugelmir. If there is anyone who can derail a decent discussion and make it petty on here it is chucky.

    Oh dear, the chaps that consistently make innacurate statements in posts and can't then back them up are throwing toys out of the pram together for moral support. Brilliant, you couldn't make it up.

    Shock horror that shortchanged avoids the question yet again and claims he's being attacked. The evidence is here from other posters where you consistently avoid answering questions. There all from this thread. Don't worry I'm sure Thruglmeir will give you moral support on this one as well.

    Interesting. I'm sure you're happy to provide some evidence of that?



    I see you completely ignored my earlier post then.

    Rather a gloomy article suggesting that the stats show that any market 'progress' over the last few months is stopping.

    I suspect that if the market was just allowed to correct itself rather than be subject to interference we'd see more activity.


    No way the market will be allowed to correct itself without interference. But maybe the market will correct itself even with all the interference.
    It does not matter how many people would like to live in a property all that matters is who can afford it.

    For starters a mortgage of 5.5% would be historically very low and chances are rates are only going one way from here.


    And it is not down.

    5.5% is low historically the average for the last several decades is around 8%.
