Watch Out... Mortgage Lending on the Rise!!

There is still a lot of false information out there with regards to mortgages and the most common myth being, that you simply can't get a mortgage at the moment.  However, this is not the case.

 

As long as you have a decent credit record and 10% deposit, which most of our clients have by using their Long Service Advance of Pay (LSAP), we will be able to secure you a mortgage. Face facts, lenders need to lend to make money, if they stopped they would go completely out of business.  All they are doing is being stricter on their lending criteria, which is better for the market and the borrowers.  After all, you wouldn't lend money to a mate or family member if you didn't think you would get it back, so why would a lender do the same to a customer.

 

Not everyone has been taken in by these tall tales since it has been announced that the number of people taking out mortgages increased for the second month in a row.  September saw the first rise and everyone held their breath when the figures were announced for October and the news we were all waiting for was confirmed, a second rise in lending.

 

The tide is turning, a property we secured for a client completing this week 4/12/08 will already have £12,700 equity in his house. Purchased for £73,000, the surveyor stated that the current market value is £85,700.  Some surveyors, usually rigid in their procedures would normally only value properties at the price paid, are starting to value properties at what they believe to be a true market value.

 

 

House prices are rarely mentioned in the news at the moment and we all know if there was anything bad they could say, it would still be making headline news each day. Remember there is one single fact that everyone agrees on, if you are in a position to buy now then there are massive savings to be had.

 

Look, we have said it before and we will say it again...

 

...now is the time to buy, do not miss this opportunity to secure a great deal, with so few people wanting to buy or unable to buy and so many having to sell, you are missing out if you don’t take action today! Complete and return via email the attached application form and leave everyone else standing.

 

There is never a bad time to buy only a bad time to sell!

 

Kind regards
