Don't expect any banks to lend you the money though without a decent credit history and probably a sizeable deposit, they're not going to make that mistake again for at least two years...

I'm glad you mentioned that. <3
Banks are only generally giving loans out to, you know, the higher echelon of folks with reasonable credit. I am confident, for example, that I would not be able to obtain a mortgage loan in the current conditions of the market.
But like Shin said - if you've got the money, you've got the
certain means in which to make your payments, and you find a nice property in foreclosure or something similar, jump on it.
As for my personal experiences with the market, I am completely debt free, I rent, and I have a decent savings account and investments. The only way I really see any change for myself because of the conditions is in the interest I accrue on my investments.
But other than that, it doesn't touch me or anyone in my family.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
