Mortgage Debt becoming more expensive
Guardian: What can turn those 'best buy' mortgages bad

Well I'm sorry. If people are so stupid as to not work out the total amount they will have to pay they deserve to be fleeced. After all, mortgages are not rocket science. And if haven't the ability to work out the costs you can always ask the banks to give you a writen quote.
I would even go so far as to say if you don't understand mortgages you don't deserve to own a house. We seem to becoming a society that gloats at its ignorance of mathematics.
