Abbey have conducted a recent survey and found that first time buyers are now borrowing more and the average mortgage is £130,000.
There has also been an increase in the number of people borrowing more than 75 per cent loan-to-value.
Our view
It is for first time buyers to get on the property ladder. Property prices are comparatively high and there is a huge choice of mortgages available.
