The scheme will plunge you into ten of thousands of pounds worth of debt, without the hassle of having to own a house.

Some economists have warned of a steep rise in the cost of ladders, with a single rung -based in London - going for half a million. Explained one lender: ‘The easiest way to help people onto the housing ladder is to remove the housing. Then all you need to do is find a ladder. Which we can loan you at competitive rates. Then, after fifty years of repayments, you will then own a ladder. A very old ladder. But you’ll be at the top of that ladder and you should be able to see some houses from there.’
