I started working in a Bank in 2006, got about 18 months of being mad busy during the day and work credit cards in the bar in the evening before the crash.

Being a junior in those days was good times. All the senior people would pay the bar bills (most of it was deemed work expenses) and we had summer and Xmas parties- free bar. There was definitely a lot more riding within the work place in those days!

The banks and developers will try cover problems up and try keep things going mad. The lads on ground see first when the work starts drying up, payment and credit been an issue, etc. Certainly in 2006, the lads on sites were saying crash before the banks, a lot of financial experts, etc Re comment on 100 per cent mortgages. I actually don’t see them as a bad thing. For example, now a couple could be paying 1500 a month in rent for 3 years, impossible to save for a deposit, but proving they could easily pay a mortgage over a significant period of time. Tbh they’d probably be paying 100s less. Think these lads should be able to get 100 per cent mortgages

I get your point and while rent paid is taken into account for calculating someone's repayment capacity it does massively effect ability to save. But 100% mortgages will drive property prices up further. The 10% deposit and max 3.5x salary were brought in to keep the market stable. With rents so high I really feel for people trying to save because moving home to parents to save isn't right for anyone.
