FSA proposes 'maximum limits on loan-to-value ratios'

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has indicated that restricting mortgage rates could help prevent a boom-and-bust culture in the housing market.

FSA Lord Adair Turner proposed introducing "maximum limits on loan-to-value ratios" to curb asset price bubbles in commercial or residential real estate.

However, the suggestions have come into criticism from Bernard Clarke, communications manager for the Council of Mortgage Lenders.

...

Data from Mortgages.co.uk recently showed that before the recession, a number of mortgage lenders, including Alliance & Leicester and Northern Rock, offered 125 per cent mortgages.

...mmmmmmmmm....me gusta mucho....se passasse la sacrosanta regola: "signore e signori mutui a non oltre 40%/50% del valore...la rimanenza ce la mettete voi!". Sai che botti le case!
Del resto se avessero messo sta regola a suo tempo tutto il marasma che abbiamo visto non sarebbe accaduto per me! [SM=g6942]
