Ten Sub Prime Hot Spots Revealed In Poll

NEWPORT, UNITED KINGDOM - APRIL 21: A general view of an empty high street in the town centre of Newport on April 21, 2008 in Wales. A poll by researchers Fitch has revealed 10 "sub-prime" blackspots across the UK - areas where large numbers of homeowners with chequered credit history have been given loans - with the worst area named as Newport in South Wales, where more than one in 10 homes are seen as at high risk of repossession as the credit crunch bites. The Bank of England has announced details today of a 50bn GBP funding rescue plan to help kick start the mortgage market and prevent the credit crisis causing more damage to the UK banking system, housing market and economy.
