I stopped using them months ago.
Just as long as GE / FN / IG dont stop lending. If that happens then I will be looking for a job. Dont think I can survive without them.0 -

Future were "OK" with IVA;s and did up to 90% not many moons ago with a current IVA.
Have to admit they can be a bit of a pain in the !!!! when the case is with them!
IG's new Idol system, I wouldn't loose sleep on that either. Can't see GE going out. I have been informed reliably they have plenty of dosh to lend still.

GE may have plenty of cash but try working out how they make their AIP decisions...ask the staff, even they have no clue. FN/IG may have set criteria but you may as well ignore it.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

F Nat / GE may well be next. Forget this nonsense spouted by reps about them having deep pockets. Advantage said exactly that and that thier parent company had money to burn just days before they went down!
BOTTOM LINE:
Prices are falling and as more lenders shut thier doors this is compounded further, so F Nat / GE simply wont be able to justify anything above 80% soon
You know I used to write doom mongering articles on housepricecrash 3 years ago about all this comming, but its worst that even I thought!0 -

Wutang,
GE's DIP system is a joke. They make up what they are prepared to lend and when you challenge their decision they say it's due to the score! As Conrad mentioned, 80% LTV limit may be a thing of the past. I just do not think, even though they have the plans, they want to lend above 80%.
