I'm a mortgage broker of 35 years experience and what surprises me is how much personal credit youngsters have. So many low paid people have huge car finance/loans/hp and hefty credit card bills. If they are able to buy (4.75 times income common at 90% or less) then all the furniture needs to be Instagram perfect and all new.
