   The only way this would crash is if people have no choice to accept where they would like there house or else they would be business closing down and service being poor!!!

   It’s easy for these people to say, he is clearly speaking from the house he owns and I’m sure they also own their own houses. Young people are on their knees, their rent is astronomical and the government is doing nothing. Thank God this mortgage is coming to give young people an opportunity to get away from greedy landlords and have something of their own for once.

   Well the banks think and past evidence supports it that if/when this blows up in there face the government will bail them out with public money.

   The super wealthy are buying up property like there's no tomorrow pushing up prices and putting them well out of reach of future generations of normal people. There's plenty of housing out there but you don't stand a chance unless you are well off to start with. It's the calculated and deliberate actions of a global elite to push us plebs into rental market. Remember, in 2030 we will own nothing and be happy

   I hope the Australian experts don't go down this path because this smacks of ruin.

    They are trying to crash the housing markets and then let the likes of Blackrock buy up whole neighbourhoods for pennies. Similar programs have recently been brought to the markets in other Western Economies. The other goal is to bring on banking and financial system collapse to consolidate banking powers.

    No deposit schemes are not all there cracked up to be. Income multiples still mean its impossible for many people to buy a house. Heap on top of that affordability tests and credit checks and it's still impossible for many people. Those people pay their rent which is often more than a mortgage but can't borrow to buy because of made up bureaucracy. Until it changes the housing crisis will deepen. House prices need to come down and wages need to go up. Meanwhile social mobility has ground to a halt.

    We saw this before the crash in 2008, at a time mortgage rates were also increasing. That didn't end well for many who took no deposit mortgages.

    A. Lower house prices by building more housing.

    B. Reduce population growth by limiting immigration to decrease housing demand.

    C. Go back to the same policies that lead to the 2008 market crash.

    My grandparents bought their house in 1975 for £6,000. The average UK salary back then was £4,479. Today it is £31,000 and £297,000. That's the problem! Unaffordable.

    So just as interest rate quadruple and house prices fall 10-15% they offer 100% mortgages on depreciating assets.
    They have lost the plot.
    Banking crisis anyone?

    No deposit mortgages were why the banks crashed in 2008 and interest rates were practically zero until just recently. USA suffered drastically.
    Can't anyone learn anything.
    Our housing problems are due solely to immigration.

    Well, Banks have gotta keep the Ponzi rolling. Free houses for new foreign suckers. You see, houses need to continue creating demand to justify their ludicrous prices just so profits can be taken. If the people mess up, banks always win. Unless the demand crashes, they will always need new blood to buy into the 'dream'. Totally corrupt system. Pity they cant sort out the homelessness.

    If you can afford to rent, you can afford to buy too. However, to allow someone to buy without a deposit is irresponsible, and will contribute to a future housing crash.

    If you can't even save 10% for a deposit, the house should not be affordable to you especially with the current high interest rate.
