How many people in the UK on £50k have got £60k spare cash for a deposit?

I heard a couple of those Columbian hostages managed to scrape such a deposit together.

What about people who have divorced and taken their share of the house(s) and are then going to use this as a deposit?

Not sure this Abbey offer is solely for First time buyers anyway, just those with a 25% deposit and a combined annual salary of >£50K. Of course the whole thing has been associated with first time buyers as they are the only ones whining on about how expensive everything is. Tuffski!! Don't remember getting a lot of sympathy when I bought my first place in 1989!!! Got even less a couple of years later!!
