So many of the big property firms embarked on a debt-fuelled acquisition drive, buying up large stakes in landmark developments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the July 2007 peak, plummeting commercial property prices left many investors nursing a massive hangover! With huge losses investors have been trying to quickly offload their stakes to balance their books. It's a firesale as commercial property giants like Land Securities take a £115m hit offloading it's 33.3pc stake in landmark developments like &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/6215848/Australia-pays-Land-Securities-210m-for-33.3pc-stake-in-Bullring-shopping-centre.html"&gt;Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre&lt;/a&gt; for £210m (reportedly worth £325m at it's peak) to reduce the risk in their portfolio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last month Britain's third largest DIY retailer &lt;a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/ic/103/103256.html"&gt;Focus&lt;/a&gt; was trying to do a deal with landlords who include Property giants British Land and Land Securities to stave off&amp;nbsp; administration and trade through a recession hit high street (saving almost 5000 jobs). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"&lt;a href="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article6807490.ece"&gt;RBS, Lloyds sell repossessed properties to subsidiaries to avoid billions of losses&lt;/a&gt;" &lt;/i&gt;reads the headline in THE Times 24/08/09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The commercial property market is beginning to pick up as demand for office space picks up.

According to their website, their best 2 year fixed rate mortgage deal is 60% loan to valuation. So to buy a £250K property, your first time buyer would need to put down £100K (no small change for anyone).  Using their &lt;a href="http://mortgagetools.lloydstsb.com/calc_mortgage_payments.asp#here"&gt;mortgage calculators&lt;/a&gt;, we've calculated that a first time buyer, earning around £30K pa, with no debts could borrow as much as £150K. On a repayment mortgage (3.29% fixed till 2011) over 25 years, your first time buyer would still need to fork out &lt;strong style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;£734.15 per month (&lt;a href="http://www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php"&gt;almost half their salary&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; According to Shelter "It is almost 100% harder to buy a first home than it was 10 years ago"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Young people wanting to get on the property ladder are being asked for bigger deposits as the number of mortgage products get pulled from the market. Many first time buyers simply don't have the cash and are borrowing from family or staying at home with mum &amp;amp; dad instead of renting to try and save enough cash for a deposit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Lloyds&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;TSB&lt;/span&gt; seem to be bucking the trend, as Yorkshire Building Society withdrew it's best 5 year fixed rate mortgage deal , warning that &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"it's cheapest offers would soon be pulled"*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*Source: Daily Mail Newspaper Saturday, May 9, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7394611798260719434-8841174557538577786?l=www.hotpropertywebsites.co.uk%2Fpropertynews' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7394611798260719434/8841174557538577786/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7394611798260719434&amp;postID=8841174557538577786' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7394611798260719434/posts/default/8841174557538577786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7394611798260719434/posts/default/8841174557538577786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.hotpropertywebsites.co.uk/propertynews/2009/05/lloyds-cut-mortgage-rate-but-fall-in.html' title='Lloyds cut mortgage rate, but the fall in high LTV mortgages mean bigger deposits'/><author><name>The Editor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01583079710483713536</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00207338345865359409'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394611798260719434.post-9987589553605557</id><published>2009-04-22T20:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-22T21:35:40.010+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Property Swap Shop Website 4 Property Chain Breaking Sale</title><content type='html'>The Cult - Classic TV - Swap Shop has been revived, as more than 6,000 properties have already been registered on property swap shop website, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;homeswapper4sale.co.uk&lt;/span&gt; in the last 8 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As house prices continue to fall in a weakening economy thousands of desperate vendors are turning to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;property swapping websites&lt;/span&gt; to cut corners, costs and get a quick chain breaking sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Potential buyers want to see asking prices fall farther, but vendors would rather shelve a sale than lower prices any more.
