So Lloyds TSB must be expecting a 10% fall in prices.

"It said that about £1.7 billion of mortgages on its books was to borrowers with deposits of 5 per cent or less." So house prices only have to fall 5% for those mortgages to go into of negative equity.

@Happyrenterz,
If the (Lloyds/TSB) borrowers purchased in (say) Feb 2007, then they will already be sitting on a paper increase of 2.7% (Nationwide).
Bradford & Bingley have moved their 110% mortgage banner off the homepage. 100% mortgages are still quoted. I noticed their shares spiked on Friday - it seems there are bid rumours....

"it seems there are bid rumours...."
That'll be the same 'company' that took over Northern Rock?
