Now that the 100% is gone the way of the dodo, banks want 92% LTV so an FTB can only get 253k on this place leaving them to come up with a whopping 47k to pay the developer 300k.

Am I missing something here?
I'm not qualified in building at all but is the developer not making a whopper of a mistake by not lowering the price?

obviously not the car, but good quality fittings( or are they fixtures) would add to the value of a house. like a kitchen or tiling or floors.
