How to avoid becoming a repossession statistic
In 2005 business information service Datamonitor estimated that 9.1 million people were refused credit by mainstream mortgage lenders, leading to a rapid growth of sub-prime lenders. In the same year the numbers of county court judgments and mortgage arrears also hit record highs.
Citizens Advice warns those thinking of exercising their right to buy to think carefully. It says tenants need to work out a cash plan first to make sure they have enough to cover 'hidden' costs. It also advises shopping around and not accepting the first loan offered. There are more than 4,000 sub-prime mortgage products available, says data provider Moneyfacts, many backed by investment banks and mainstream lenders.
Julia Harris, mortgage analyst at moneyfacts.co.uk advises those considering a sub-prime mortgage product to not just look for the best rate but consider which type of adverse criteria they fit and find a lender that will accept that particular position.
Mortgage Trust fixes the competition
Mortgage Trust, the specialist buy-to-let lender, has come into the market with a very competitive mortgage, a two-year stepped fixed rate product at 4.55%. The initial rate is fixed until 30 September 2007 followed by 5.1% until September 2008. Rental cover has to be 125% of mortgage interest at 4.55%.
This is probably the best fixed rate buy to let loan available at the moment. Bank of Ireland has a three-year deal at 4.75% which is about the next cheapest mortgage on offer in the buy-to-let market. The Coventry loan has a 1% arrangement fee capped at £1,500 and no redemption penalties beyond the two-year fixed rate period. Maximum loan to value is 85%. 'We are extremely pleased to be able to offer our MT Select packaging partners this great deal,' said Austin Jelfs, head of sales at Mortgage Trust.Another race in Lake of Bays
He would also like the municipality to come up with an equitable solution to concerns about the commercial use of the Port Cunnington public landing.
"We should have options on the table that are going to be suitable to everybody. Right now there are three options but they're pretty one-sided," he said, referring to the fact that all three options presented to council by municipal staff involve physically restricting barging access at the landing.
Cote said he wants to see more light industrial business in the Baysville area to spur the creation of jobs.
"We've got the sewers now. In the last year we got a couple of commercial enterprises and I'd like to see more. I'd like to see light industrial like manufacturing... not getting into the heavy industrial stuff," he said.
