Day of Reckoning for the mortgage market

.
.
.
Today is the day when some bloke called Turner who lunches at the FSA announces new proposals for rules governing banks.

Much discussed is the rumour that a cap on mortgage lending to individuals is to be introduced. A cap of 3 times being applied to income and a maximum 95% LTV.

If this is true I will also post on how the mortgage lenders intend to get around the new rules.

More here later.

This is like trying to cap an active volcano having first dropped a bomb into it. Labour crap.
remember Brown saying he wants a return to 2007 lending? Numpty of the highest order.
