The number of mortgages in arrears came in at 125,000 - 3% down on the same period last year.
Home repossessions 'rise by 30%'
So, while the number of mortgages in arrears are 3% down on the same period last year, an estimated 14,000 properties were repossessed in the first six months of the year - a 30% increase on the same time last year.

The average cost of a house in England will break through the £300,000 mark in the next five years, research suggests.
The National Housing Federation (NHF) warned prices are now almost 11 times the average wage and may rise by 40% as supplies fall further behind demand.
Yep, house prices are going up by another 40%. All true, the BBC say so.Comment

I wonder if I can re-mortgage the extra 40% equity in advance to plough into off plan "luxury" buy-to-let flats? Shall I email the link to my building society?Comment

Besides, this is no paradise either and workwise, yes, I believe the environment is much better in lil' ol' England. And the swiss efficiency.... oh, yes, that's just a myth .
However, have to admit that the quality of life is much higher here and for an italian, well, you feel half way home (bizarre how I tend to speak english first but then people are more comfortable with the italian language instead)Last edited by Francko; 6 August 2007, 08:17.I've seen much of the rest of the world.
