Default Not all bad news

Although uk mortgage holders are falling behind with there payments far fewer of them are likely to lose there homes than in the early nineties, for a variety of reasons. More people bought with larger deposits, also only 30% of people have interest only mortgages compared with more than 70% in the 90s also job security and a faltering but not altogether bad economy add up to less repos and a faster recovering housing market.

Default Problem is if you were tied in

I had a mortgage where I was tied in for 2 years, and it's just gone up from £465 to £675. There are no good deals around, and my mortgage provider (Northern Rock) won't even let me borrow any money out. I think they want me to move so they can realise some more money!

PPP dont forget that back in the 90's all these interest only mortgages had endowments running along side. These days peole are stretched so far they are on pure I/O, which is a recipe for dissaster.

Oh hi I'm new

The government is doing a poor job running the country so can't imagine it would be good at running a bank.

There are still good deals about it you have decent income, not massive other debts and not massive LTV.
