Is this your latest attempt at a smear campaign?
Not at all, and I apologise if I have it wrong.
So are you saying that you haven't wanted an increase in regulations around mortgage lending since the credit crunch?0 -

It's the put downs.
Am I right in thinking that you only take umbridge at put downs if they are aimed at you, rather than aimed by you?0 -
I just take umbrage at the word 'umbridge'0

Is that why UK mortgage lending capacity is down 50% since 2008 and membership of the CML by over a third.
As lenders have either left the market. Or in the case of German, French, Irish, American , Belgium and Dutch banks simply packed up and closed their operations.
I didn't include Spanish on the list. As Santander are obviously very much visible in the High Street. Having made a 19 billion Euro provision in their 2012 accounts against Spanish property loans. Looks like they are struggling and in fact are now cutting UK lending hard. The deal to buy RBS branches may be a dead duck too.0 -

Do you actually own the house or is your name simply on the title followed by by a charge to a lender, to whom you owe a shed load of wonga?
