The last 100% mortgage which was still on the market was removed from Abbey offerings on the 7th of April at 10pm. This marked the end of the no-deposit mortgage era.

The reader who was listed as on, Eastbourne?went on to say: t's easy to criticise the borrowers... But these ridiculous mortgage products have been pushed on the public by people we are supposed to trust!?Public opinions on online forums concur that the end of 100% mortgages while shocking to some will be a positive change and will make the market more realistic and properties therefore more attainable.
Some lenders such as First Direct have withdrawn from the mortgage market completely. First direct have said the action is due to a backlog of existing mortgages which need to be assessed and dealt with. The Co-op Bank which has 6.5 million customers has also said that they will temporarily stop taking mortgage applications.
