    40 year mortgages and 0% mortgages, anything to keep house prices climbing, rather than address the underlying issues in the housing market!
  • @Sanchyfab
    With the market dynamics and potential shifts, understanding how mortgage rates impact our financial decisions is crucial.

    Iโ€™ve been paying my mortgages down , I have stopped buying houses Iโ€™m not even looking now the rates have gone to high and made it not worth buying thereโ€™s not enough profit so buying back my equity is the best way to go for me, Ps you might say put the rents up, but tenants just donโ€™t have the money so I keep things fair
  • @g.p616
    Very interesting infoโ€ฆ.. and a very clean and shiny table!!
  • Think the difference now in terms of absolute interest rate is that the mortgage as a multiple of salary is much higher so although the rates were higher historically the actual burden on people is much worse now

    "40 increase in first time buyers, what do you put that down to" - blood sucking RENT is the answer
  • @nsoul4296
    Commercial rates have just started rising again, no signs the BoE will reduce base rates. A million plus coming off their near zero rate this year. Just entered a recession. Looking grim for house prices, need to drop another 10%+ to bring buyers en masse back to the market.
  • Hi Phil great video some more good common sense ๐Ÿ‘ Regards Christopher Barker

    If Labour win the general election and if (itโ€™s a big if) they free up planning and lots more houses are built, this may well drive down house prices. I personally think this would be a good thing for the country BUT it makes me very worried for young people/FTBs with 99/100% mortgages.
  • Isnโ€™t the deposit to protect the lender from negative equity and owners walking away. Not necessarily about affordability. In recessionary times itโ€™s not a good idea. Iโ€™ve heard of family years ago taking 100% mortgages and known of more than 100% for kitting out the property. Seems crazy at the time but the crazy boom in housing prices killed off that risk. I could be wrong but weโ€™ll never see the % increases that owners had 20/30 years ago.

    100% mortgage in a falling housing, tread very carefully.
