Purrrsonally I think the UK will become like France where the majority of people will choose...ermm... will have to rent rather than own.
For where is it written that the value of house must equal a reasonable multiple of salary?
For someone on the average salary of what is it.. £25K would mean £75K + savings for a home - I really don't think prices will drop that far to meet the requirements of those who need it most. Seriously I don't.

Yes, lets have 500% mortgages that run for a million years. That way we can all afford a house no?

How mental is this?
For example, borrowers can still opt for a term of 40 years but affordability will be calculated as if you were paying it back over 25 years.
Aha:
In addition, Nationwide is changing the maximum age limit by which time the mortgage must be paid off to 75. Prior to this there was no upper age limit as long as borrowers could afford the mortgage payments from their pension income.
The dropping of 100% mortgages has to be done, they are stupid loans too.
70% off current prices would be lush, would be able to afford a wicked place at those levels - no mortgage required Can't see them going that low though.
