The UK property market is competitive with soaring prices, which won't come as a surprise to many, but a man who once made £120,000 salary said his deposit savings were "almost laughed out the door".
Former bank worker Robert Payne had £25,000 saved, an "impeccable credit score", no forms of debt and no credit card or car finance.
The mortgage broker told him he "doesn't stand a chance" of becoming a homeowner again after selling his first home in Uckfield after calling quits on his lucrative career, The Mirror reported.
