Remember sub-prime crisis was caused by no deposit lending? Well l'd suggest this is reckless by Barclays.

The no-deposit mortgage has returned, with Barclays removing the need for buyers to put down any deposit when buying a home using its “family springboard” mortgage.

What no increased dividend, what more investment bank bonus, what no attracted share holders. What no surprise.

Disappointing to see BARC launch a 100% mortgage - I am sure that the lending criteria is strict, but this is a disappointing development that could encourage copycat lending to those less able to service.

Absolutely not, of course not, certainly not!!!

They are simply getting more aggressive, and yes, if that led to the banking crisis It was when lenders were lending to those with in-secured jobs and little collateral etc. Etc.

The rules of this 100% mortgage are pretty strict, but they will attract those with aspirations and well-paid positions who wish to up-size. I see no conflict with how things were before 2008. Only a very few will get through the net to qualify but it is a signal that Barclays want and will get more business whatever it takes.

Looking forward to the first divestments coming along soon which will boost the coffers and, sadly, more job losses are on the way too which is always good for the share price. In the meantime, back to the range-bound 160-180p area for the traders to play I suspect.
