How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Instead of buying your home during the biggest credit boom in history, at global peak prices, buy your home during a recession, thereby saving yourself a million pounds in interest payments over 25 years, avoiding negative equity and having the ability to afford a larger bedsit.
