A Year After The New Mortgage Rules: How Have You Been Affected?


One year ago, Mortgage Market Review came into place. It was supposed to protect both lenders and borrowers by vetting borrowers more rigorously so that lenders could make better lending decisions. But has it done so? One of the most obvious effects of MMR was the fact that borrowers were asked so many questions about their finances that they felt it was simply too intrusive. There have been other problems as well; the strict vetting is locking out people who can afford mortgages and the effect of that has been fewer mortgages and re-mortgages.

So how do you make sure that you get a mortgage or re-mortgage when you need one? The best thing to do is work with a mortgage advice company such as Mortgage Advice Services. In the past year alone, since MMR came into effect, they have helped many people secure mortgages when they would have otherwise failed. Their job is to make sure that when lenders look at your application for a mortgage they see that you are in good financial health. They come with an additional advantage – since they have worked in the industry for so many years they are in touch with many vendors and they are usually able to get mortgages for their clients at very reasonable rates. Here are additional benefits of working with Mortgage Advice Services:

•    You do not pay a broker’s fee. This is pretty rare. Most mortgage consulting companies require that their clients pay them a broker’s fee.

•    They also do not charge an admin fee. Again, this is pretty rare.

•    You get your own Home Insurance Adviser. This is your go to person in case you have any concerns or queries. They are also the person who will look at your finances to determine how they should be organized to maximize your chances of getting a mortgage or a re-mortgage.

•    You Home Insurance Adviser comes to you and not the other way around. They can visit you at home or in your office.

•    The company offers legal advice when it is needed, they will give you some money to compensate you in case of domestic accidents such as failing of the AC and they also provide keycare.
