Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Brian Goggin:

Yes, but if I project forward, I looked at the composition of new mortgage lending in the periods ending September 2005, 2006 and 2007 - I might be one year out in that - but I was, in preparing for today, I was keen to understand the loan-to-value profile of new business origination in a period of quite significant growth and for the RILs, or the buy-to-lets that you're referring to, Deputy, the average LTVs of new business written in those three annual periods, ending September of each year, was in the order of 60%. So, there was significant equity being contributed to the RILs or buy-to-lets in that origination period.
