Why would I be wasting their time? Its not like I wouldn't be able to afford payments on a flat/house worth >£100k!!

I've been with my bank 10 years and always had loans but never missed a single payment!! No loyalty towards their customers IMO!!

Seriously mate you are better off waiting, renting and saving. I have more than a 10% deposit and have been self employed for 4 years and I am doing just that after many meetings with mortgage advisors. Some people might offer you some form of mortgage but it will be one of the most depressing and financially crippling things you will ever see.

Oh and its nothing to do with loyalty to customers, purely a reflection of the current market.

Lol

How long you have been with your bank has nothing to do with it. Your opinion that you can afford payments has nothing to do with it.

As self employed the bank see you as a top risk customer. They dont have to lend you money, you dont have a right to be able to borrow it.
That attitude is how we got here. Now finally with a bit of sense they require a hefty deposit to cover themselves before they get the chequebook out.

Rightly or wrongly, whatever your opinion or mine is, wont change the fact that you will probably need a 30% deposit if you want a house within the next 10 years.

they rule i bought my house off the council 6 years ago for 30k and its worth 70+ now..you have to have been a council tenant for 5 years to qualify for right to buy but i did hear it was stopping.

i went to try and get a mortgage for a bigger/better house a few months ago and even with all the equity in my house and no debts i couldnt get a motrgage..my mortgage adviser said its only going to get worse
