Keeping the housing crash secret
UK Bubble: Council of Mortgage Lenders stops releasing arrears and BTL data
Until last year, it was possible to download data on arrears and the buy to let market for free from the Council of Mortgage Lenders website. Now, the data is restricted to members only. I wonder why they changed their data access policies. Do they have anything to hide, like for example, rapidly rising arrears rates?

Another example of a twist on the old adage "In times of war the first casualty is the always the truth..."

Tut tut Alice. Don't you know it's rude to embarrass people? I'll bet you're the type who talks about house prices at the dinner table as well!
P.S. Great blog!
