Risky lending on property

Risky lending on property - 1999 - Estates Gazette (9902) 22 May 1999, 65(1) .

FPD Savills has warned that banks could be getting into risky lending on property by ignoring the implications of low inflation. Loan-to-value ratios of 90% are regularly offered, but with little rental and capital growth over a ten year term, depreciation and obsolescence can erode the value of property by as much as 40%.
