Not sure I see the significance. Abbey - Spain...hmmm.
If the markets carry on the way they are then I think as a first time buyer then I will be taking full advantage. I am hopefully going to buy somewhere towards the end of next year if possible. Hoping to grab a bargain, especially if I can keep adding to my savings. Seems silly to not take advantage of it really.

You can only take advantage if you can get a mortgage or pay cash.
thats why goverment and banks should have applied the brakes years ago.
allowing the public to go on a spending rampage will make every single one of us suffer.
my card has been increased to 14k the bank are constantly contacting me to tempt me into using the .poxy thing
Should the government hold your hand when you cross the road as well?
People should stop blaming the banks and take some responsiblity for their actions. Just because the bank is willing to give people credit beyond their means, doesn't mean they should accept it.
in an ideal world i would agree,yet bankers have preyed upon people by throwing cash at them.
If the people can't pay back the loans the bankers lose.
hence why the money markets are in meltdown.
The markets may be in meltdown, but I don't think we've seen a significant amount of repossessions or defaulting in the UK (at least yet).

It's like the US culture of suing the bar after you've drunk yourself stupid, walked out and been run over after staggering into the street! It's up to you to work out when enough is enough.People should stop blaming the banks and take some responsiblity for their actions.

As I said before - temptation is too great for some. Not everyone is sensible and the banks have played on this.
