      When? Pre-CV? Yeah, sure.

      Best case scenario, 80% of normal salary, no greater than 2.5k PCM, sounds like a lot of stretching on the horizon. Especially for those earning more than 30k pa, which is a lot of people in the SE. I say best case scenario, because furloughed workers will eventually translate into redundant workers in a lot of cases, plus there are redundancies ongoing. If you seriously think that UK housing assets are going to make it through this unscathed, I have a garden bridge for sale at full pre-CV price.

                    Mortgage LTVs will decline as the banks de-risk mortgage lending and unemployment will increase dramatically, far beyond the last recession (even with the furlough scheme). Values were stretched coming into this and the London market will follow other, similar, markets around the world. Leveraged BTL is stuffed; rents are already declining and prices follow rents. As for interest rates in the medium-term, it’s difficult to say. The shock is deflationary. The stimulus isn’t.
                    Read somewhere that a couple of big lenders are already stopping anything that's not less than 65% LTV - clearly they expect a shock of some sort. Others were expecting one because of Brexit but that could just drift by quietly as part of this and we'll have BROVID as the combined blame!
                    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist
