Meenzer 15872 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 So apparently having to bail out incompetent banks and the financially illiterate and negligent isn't enough of a hit on diligent savers already. Go Team UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15872 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Oh, and sterling's fucked, too. Still, if it persuades a few people to take out yet another mortgage they can't afford, then I'm sure everything will be just fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twats! They'd fucking need to be passing it on after being bailed out of the shit by the taxpayer. Anyone got any idea how long this will take to filter through to the mortgages on offer for new buyers? Assuming that it is passed on at all.

Needless to say whatever Mike Ashley is has no bearing on what Freddy Shepherd was, I guess that is a point that will be lost on you though (I'm assuming this because I haven't read your drivel in over a year). Now, do you have any comments on the interest rate cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The main mortgage lenders have started to respond to the government's demand that they should cut their mortgage lending rates. The Nationwide, HBOS, the RBS/NatWest group and nationalised Northern Rock will cut their main variable lending rates by the full 1.5% on 1 December...... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7716086.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 More down to the fact that LIBOR (the real cost to banks) went down by over 1% today. Aside from that, it was a marketing and political decision rather than a financial one. I doubt given the choice anyone would want to be issuing mortgages right now. What I can't work out is how 'shaming' banks into lending money cheaply is going to ameliorate a problem caused by erm.... banks lending too cheaply.

They were getting a raping in the media, and political pressure was massive. The thing is though they still don't actually have to do what they are supposed to be doing, even if they drop rates and keep them there. There's other ways of avoiding lending (most of which are all ready being exploited to some degree or other). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can't work out is how 'shaming' banks into lending money cheaply is going to ameliorate a problem caused by erm.... banks lending too cheaply. It wasn't credit being too cheap that caused the problem Nor was it house prices falling. It was lending too much to people who blatently couldn't pay it back. Remember the adverts - 'poor credit history, CCJs, no intention of paying us back? Come to Ocean Finance for a no quibble loan'. That's what got us here, theoretically low interest rates make it easier to pay back loans, allowing more 'money' to be circuklated. Also, LIBOR is pretty much redundant now as well, all lending fundamentals have been destroyed by stealth over the past decade, which is now revealing its ugly head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
