    !!!!!! has a good point.
    You should have to save in order to have a deposit to buy a house.
    This reduces your outstanding loan, interet you have to pay and can also affect the interest rate you get for the mortgage.

    It's ok, if you could not manage to save, but this would mean that you could not afford a mortgage.

    This is the way it used to be (prior to easy credit) and this is how it is returning.

    If you want to owna property you have to save for it.
    If you can't save for a property then you accept it and live within your means.

    What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
    Some men you just can't reach.

    Indeed. The truth hurts sometimes...

    That is very kind of you to say so, I always like to bring the other side of the discussion to the forefront.
    We would not want to see people getting mis informed by your constant joy of wishing misery on normal house owning families.
