At the same time, as mentioned above, the clearing banks entered the market for housing loans. In particular there was a considerable expansion of what was known as ?equity withdrawal?. This allowed home-owners who already had a housing loan (mortgage) to take out a second loan against the security of the house?s increased value. Since house prices had risen consistently this was a very convenient source of borrowing. Since it was secured against property it was also cheap. It became a very cheap source of consumer borrowing. Before this period building societies and banks, would not have provided such loans. A household could only get a bigger loan if it bought a more expensive house. Whether it is sensible for households to borrow funds for consumption against the increased value of a house is an interesting question. Financial institutes were competing to lend and households were willing to borrow. Go to Welcome Finance for more information.
