Risks in the mortgage market, a regulator's view. Speech by Clive Briault, Managing Director, Retail Markets, FSA Council of Mortgage Lenders Annual Lunch 20 April 2007..."When lenders are calculating their Loss Given Defaults on mortgage portfolios they should allow for a 20% reduction in house prices, and a further 20% reduction from forced sale after a property has been repossessed; and should allow for 35% of loans in default to end up in repossession."
