They did this before 2008 and it ended up being responsible for the credit crunch. Housing needs to cost an amount that doesn't require such extreme mortgages.
I guess the people who profited from 2008 have decided it’s time for another slurp at the trough.
Current interest rates with six times my salary - not sure I could even afford the repayments.
Here comes the next house price hike wave, then.
Nationwide are also launching deals under 4%.
It's a shame wages weren't keeping pace.
Six times income! Fucking heck.
Build more houses you bastards!
What could go wrong?
I'm going to assume that by "some" they really mean "the rich ones where mummy and daddy have provided a massive deposit"

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
