From FT.com: "Several of the UK and Irish banks that received government bail-outs are offering to write off up to 25 per cent of a mortgage debt for professional landlords and developers – just to encourage them to move to new lenders." Full article here: Banks write off debt for landlords Hey, Everybody wins. Everybody meaning Banks, Landlords & Developers but not your average homeowner that is.

My favourite bit of marketing: "Parking Side parking for one vehicle...." ...we used to keep the car inside!

My God, those places are insane! They arent 'worth' half their asking prices. Comedy Cabins like these should be illegal. Is the barn conversion effort actually legal with no windows, there is no room for a couch for f@~ks sake? Who buys these places? A submariner?

Logged my complaint with Channel 4 as follows: "I would just like to complain about the 'new series' of this drivel which was actually filmed in 2006 and summer 2007. You are blatently digging up old VT that you didnt use before in an effort to keep this property ramping trash on air. It bears no relation to the current market conditions and therefore is misleading. Very poor, lazy and fraudulant tv. Regards" Their reply: "Dear Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. We are sorry to hear that you felt the programme was misleading and lazy.

From reading the MSE forum it looks like they are actually ridding themselves of customers with no debt rather than the supposed risky customers. I reckon what they are actually trying to do is get rid of all the unused credit limits since CitiBank needs the credit value for its other business/customers! I await my letter.....
