Howard Davies criticised as being ‘out of touch’ with number of first-time buyers at lowest level in a decade
The chair of NatWest has claimed it is not “that difficult” to get on the property ladder, despite the number of first-time buyers with a mortgage falling to the lowest level in a decade.
“I don’t think it is that difficult at the moment,” Sir Howard Davies told the BBC. Pressed about this assertion, he added: “You have to save, and that is the way it always used to be.”
