    Yes super, we've worked hard and saved for years, house prices have continued to rise and now they might plummet and send us into negative equity if the market crashes when we intially leave in 2 years. Yes, thank you very much, we're very grateful!

    But your next property will cost less. Negative equity won't matter

    Not of the country, no.

    Just 52% of the 72% of those eligible to vote.

    Yes of the country, not no

    100% of the country voted in one way or another.

    REMAIN. LEAVE. NOT BOTHERED

    No, I'm right. You just made up the reason for the third of your vote types. Who knows why they did not vote, you don't.

    Only to the bad risk clients, which it should be. MMR was a breath of fresh air, forcing people to get their economic pocket money sorted. However it was short lived caused by cheap lending (funding for Lending, QE) and getting round MMR with the irresponsible help to by 5% deposit schemes and 35-40 year mortgages. MMR banned interest only on residential properties for the crazies to extend the mortgage lengths to get round this.

    I welcome a tightening of mortgage lending, it will promote a healthier housing market rather than a property bubble.

    A lot of first time buyers are reliant on 5% mortgages...

    People who voted leave are uneducated in economics and politics...

    Doesn't say much for the out of touch career political elite. Perhaps they should get a real job to gain some life experience, before advising other people how to run their lives or considering entering public service. ;)

    Not relevant, they didn't vote, they could bote if they wanted to. They didn't so that's their choice.

    It is a 100% vote, glad to have cleared that up for you.

    it will when you need a 10-20% deposit as the uncertainty in the market causes low deposit products to be pulled...

    Bigfrieddiel is clutching at straws to prove his argument for the leave will not condemn the young and now.


    Perhaps you are the one out of touch with actually knowing what it entails to buying a house now and not 40 years ago.


    I sincerely hope the Brexit won't condemn our children and the younger generation, only time will tell.
