    My favourite is the guy who reckons cos he earns 50 grand, lenders should be falling over themselves to lend to him. Let alone the fact that he wants a £185k house but only has £10k "in the bank". Are we to take it this includes fees/stamp duty?

    If his earnings are as wonderful as he makes out then he could surely have saved a deposit??

    Yea... i was like "!!!!!!... you earn 50k but can't scrape a 5% deposit".... you couldn't write this stuff lol.

    Also when the recession hits his income will most likely drop when people will 'do without' fancy photographers lol.

    2nd half tomorrow night.

    The quick-sale guy was good at evading answers. He's stuck now because the mortgage deals aren't available and some of his fixed rates are ending and the mortgages are costing more than the rental income.

    The sad thing was the stressed out Sheffield family who would have received better advice coming on here than from the interviewer.
