5% deposit - Budget announcement- bad credit

Options
Hi,
Anyone have an idea if the 5% deposit for mortgages which will be announced in  next weeks budget will apply to adverse credit mortgages? Can we expect to see a lower deposit requirement too?

Also, will rates become more competitive now and drop? I do worry that this will push the already inflated house prices up further, then there will be a price crash, and with a 5% deposit will push everyone into negative equity?

Thanks

    Adverse mortgages historically will need more detail and no one size fits all and will be individual. However as they are adverse, expect more criteria to pass or higher deposit/Interest is the general consensus
