10:26 am
on what i could afford on the size of my income, which wasn't much, and i always thought i was going to go for one of the shared ownership schemes, that was mentioned before, and just before the pandemic i applied for a shared ownership mortgage and i got told i could not get one. well, i could get one but they wanted me to double my deposit on the advisory spoke to at the time were saying how people think shared ownership is a lot easier but actually it is often quite a lot harder, because the ratio equity involved, so i decided that after the pandemic happened there was a lot of people screwed over and i sorta have given up at the moment, putting on this much money as i could each month, but i felt like i getting nowhere. house prices...

just worth reminding people of the disadvantages of this negative equity, the higher rates, this mortgage we are talking about, not as generous as other options. .a9% is the interest rate. more expensive than the average five year fixed of 5% -- than the average five year fixed of 5% —— five .a9%. and with a higher loan to value ratio, that was at the root cause of the fannie mae and freddie mac, we remember those two, the 2008 financial crash, and this offer has drawn inevitable comparisons to that. i want to thank you all so much. really instructive stuff. sasha in leicester and goes in north—west london and ash in manchester and some in leeds, daniel and colchester, shown in brighton, ma in eastbourne, none of those are places where it is in any way cheap to buy. please get in touch this morning on that. —— emma in eastbourne. put your name on the

and my boyfriend bought our two bedroom flat last march in southall. we were only able to do this due to money being gifted from my partner's grandmother. there we are. we are taking advantage of the a0% help to buy scheme. our previous rental place was 1700 per month whereas our current mortgage payments are only 850. it seems criminal to me that those who paid extortionate rents for so long have no opportunity of buying a place, especially when they have shown they are financially stable enough to do so. the new skipton mortgage scheme sounds like a great idea to me. this text. this whole issue is much more complicated thanit whole issue is much more complicated than it is coming across. i'm not sure it is a simple as to say move up sure it is a simple as to say move up north because it is cheaper. if you look at affordability as opposed to house prices there are the same issues in leeds as in london. i also have an issue with renting versus buying. don't forget the other costs. if you buy you have to fix the boiler, the leaking toilet.

excluded. when you are a first—time buyer, quite often the first property that you can afford that is in your range is a flat. it is not a house. very few people go straight into a house. and any of the slightly more, i'm doing quotes in the air, affordable housing schemes, that developers build as part of the big developments now in this push to get more houses, they are nearly always flats and new build. so you are sort of restricted again. i think there really needs to be more of a push, think there really needs to be more ofa push, more think there really needs to be more of a push, more of a scheme for local people to be able to stay in their area. local people to be able to stay in their area-— local people to be able to stay in their area._ you - their area. absolutely. you mentioned _ their area. absolutely. you mentioned your _ their area. absolutely. you mentioned your family. - their area. absolutely. you| mentioned your family. you their area. absolutely. you - mentioned your family. you might mentioned yourfamily. you might have to move away, just because you want to have your own home, which is a perfectly reasonable aspiration, it is something that is in our national psyche, it is something

that we all strive to sort of expect to be able to do in our lifetime, and that's not fair. that's really not fair. i see it here, i'm down in essex, it happens here, children who have grown up and gone to school here, contributed, gone to work, in part of the local community, the fabric of the society, they have to move away and bring their children up. they are 15, 20 miles away which may not sound a huge amount. and obviously you are looking that potentially happening to you it is dispiriting. you said it do something to your soul. it is really depressing. i really welcome this opportunity that skipton have put out there. i think it's brave, i think it's exciting that someone is actually looking at the issue and trying to come up with a solution. they have very clear in their press release that it's not going to help
