Subprime Mortgages

It sounds awful 'Subprime mortgages' but what are they and why all the fuss. A subprime loan is a loan given to people
who usually have a poor credit history or a very low credit score. The fuss now is that this market has nearly collapsed
and the major world economies are starting to slowly grind to a standstill. The knock on effect is it is now more difficult
for people to go out and get credit/remortgage as banks are now being a lot more choosey as to whom they lend money to.

The biggest subprime mortgage market is in the USA were millions of Americans have seen the cost of their loans soar
and have subsequently defaulted on there repayments. Big financial institutions have taken heavy losses running into
billions of dollars, one UK lender, Northern Rock whose business relied heavily on buying this subprime packaged debt
got into such a mess that it has now been forced into public ownership and in the red to the tune of £25 billion to the
UK taxpayer.

Is there an end in sight? Well not in the near future it doesn't seem like a week goes by when another bank reveals
how much it has lost due to the subprime turmoil. Banks and other financial institutions are tightening their belts and
when a bank tightens its belt it is normally us the general public that feels the squeeze.
