Reuters report today that the Council of Mortgage Lenders have stated that bankruptcies pose a growing threat to the housing boom.

Bankruptices are at their highest level for 11 years.

It is likely that interest rates will rise this year, causing people who have borrowed heavily increased hardship wrt paying their debts.

This in turn will threaten the housing market, which is already under threat from the estimated £40BN shortfall on endowment mortages.
