The British mortgage amounting to 3.29 times their gross annual salary
So things are going for europe (certainly better than in Spain)
The mortgages for buyers of a first home in the UK exceeded 3.29 times the value of annual gross salary in November, reflecting a record figure, reported today the Bank of Mortgage (CML).
The value of a mortgage in the first half of November reached 113,877 pounds (172,593 euros), a value that this past week has been aggravated by the recent rise in interest rates to 5.25%.
According to the CML, in November 2005 mortgages for buyers of the first floor was 3.08 times higher than their salary, a figure that in the same month of 2006 stood at 3.29 times as much.
Also, those who want to access a first home ownership should save an average of 17.8% of their wages only for the payment of interest, a percentage that in November 2005 stood at 15.8%.
Despite the increase in interest rates and the price of the flats, the number of new buyers in November reached the 37,000, a 5.71% more than the 35,000 recorded in October.
