Great news for FTBs apparently

BBC: Lenders ease mortgage rationing

"Lenders have been making it slightly easier for borrowers to take out a mortgage, according to the financial information service Moneyfacts. The number of mortgages requiring a minimum 15% deposit has risen from 189 in the past month to 226, the highest number for more than a year. At the same time the number of mortgages requiring a 20% down-payment has fallen, from 136 to 117.
However 66% of mortgages still need at least a 25% deposit."

What the BBC won't mention is the fact that the rates are high for those without deposits and will only go up when the touchpaper is lit under interest rates.
