Ray Boulger Cent Quotations

You have to look at how competitive these loans are. People who walk into branches will be sold them but would be much better off getting a 100 per cent loan with no higher lending charge. The cost of borrowing that extra percentage is huge.

The state of the property market certainly affects whether people want to buy with friends. When prices were rising at 20 per cent a year, there was much more pressure to buy as soon as possible. If buying with a friend was the only way, people were prepared to do so. Now the market is more stable that pressure is less strong.
