Turner added that the frugal trend that swept the UK since the recession hit saw people saving, rather than spending.
"Those savings have now accumulated so much that people have deposits they wouldn’t have had otherwise – and they are ready to invest in property."

There will always be a shortage until HIPS are scrapped
I totally agree with Tony Altman. The whole HIPS fiasco was created by a meddling bunch of incompetents led by John Prescott. There was no market research or consultation with industry experts. It was HIPS that started the housing crash, long before the credit crunch or recession. In fact, it could be argued that HIPS CAUSED the recession in an economy which has long relied on the "feelgood factor" created by modest house price inflation.
When will this government EVER stop interfering in free markets? Every time they do, they just cause havoc. The old system was flawed, but still far better than what we have now. I say scrap HIPs.
