Some have yet to realise that the UK is not the land of milk and honey that some would foolishly like to try and promote or believe.
With gain comes pain. Rip Off Britian will leave very few winners but, a lot more whingers.
Please queue this side.

Yet more cash required from the taxpayer to pay overextended mortgage holders!,on the brighter side will this lead to an increased saving rate?(wishful thinking on my part I think)

But, A survey by Rightmove, the property website, found that 53pc in the UK believe house prices will rise over the next 12 months.

@mr g - the same people in the survey also said that interest rates would remain at historic lows or fall to zero and everyone will live happily ever after.

JackC, I missed that one!
My post @4 was ironic by the way.

"With the base rate remaining low for so long many lenders have...increased (their rates)". Anyone follow this logic?
Still, somebody has to pay for this:

@7 - Agreed, this will also lead to tighter lending criteria so that mortgage lenders don't get stung in future. This coupled with "According to the Council of Mortgage Lenders 195,000 borrowers are currently in arrears and this figure is expected to rise to 205,000 this year." when interest rates are at historic lows I just can't figure out how anyone thinks property prices will rise this year. I'm not saying they will or won't, I just can't figure out how they will...or can. I figure that the 2009 rebound was the last of the cash buyers, or bank of mum and dad buyers fearing that they will miss out. I've seen it time and time again in the stock market, fear, greed and folly; people act the same no matter where they 'invest' their money.
