Mortgages and Remortgages: the Perplexing Riddle of Supply and Demand
The economy has been subject to a large degree of speculation over the last quarter following whispers of an anticipated recovery and tentative signs in isolated sectors of the financial world. Not without exception, the markets for mortgages and remortgages have been under particularly intense scrutiny as the health of the property markets have typically been utilised in a barometer capacity in gauging the overall health of the economy.
Subsequent to news released today by the Council of Mortgage Lenders, there has been a significant slowing down of the increase in demand for mortgages. Donna Green discusses the statistics released and investigates the expert opinion on issues that are likely to arise as a consequence of this reflection on the market situation.
There have been several sets of information pertaining to the health of the property market, in particular the much debated growth of the mortgaging sector amidst a general set of fluctuations within the economy. With the Council of Mortgage Lenders publishing statistics that suggest the mortgaging market is experiencing an increase in demand in a stable demeanour, it echoes the warnings issued by Connells Survey and Evaluation.
The concerns being voiced over the stability of this reported growth in the property sector are predominantly rising as a result of the potential that the market could stagnate. The statistics published by Connells Survey and Evaluation purport that the underpinning of growth and recovery within the demand for mortgages is arising from existing property owners as opposed to first time buyers. These findings are supported by figures documenting a 75 per cent increase in valuations requested on properties in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the quarter three of 2008.
The Council of Mortgage Lenders have detailed the alternative should a stagnation of the market be avoided: the recovery of the market is predicted to be subject to particular peaks and troughs throughout the next twelve months. Following the noted growth of the market in the last twelve months, the poor recovery of remortgaging and equity release markets, combined with an increasingly strong requirement for at least 25 per cent deposits highlights that concessions in the mortgaging market will need to occur for the whole market to recover successfully.
The CML have cited that analysts expect the next twelve months to witness a decrease in the mortgage lending sector of between six and seven per cent, with isolated recovery of this downturn predicted to take a further two years subsequent to this. In order for the economy to sustain these fluctuations in the market, the sector is required to relinquish a great deal of the tentative stability attained with a pragmatic approach to the housing markets in their entirety.
It is crucial, should an individual wish to explore the possibility of applying for a mortgage or a remortgage to seek independent, professional mortgage or remortgage advice so as to obtain a comprehensive overview of the economic health of the property markets.

Young homebuyers face legal action and bankruptcy after off-plan flats plunge in value
One of Britain's biggest housebuilders, Berkeley Homes, is threatening to sue customers for up to £100,000 each after they failed to honour sales contracts.
The developer has already taken their deposits of up to £60,000 a time, meaning many have lost their savings.
Now 83 buyers say they will be forced to make themselves bankrupt if they are pursued for more money.
The buyers are paying the price of a gamble they took when property values appeared to be rising inexorably.
In 2007, as the market soared, hundreds agreed to buy flats from Berkeley Homes at Caspian Wharf in Docklands, and Royal Arsenal Riverside in Woolwich, that had yet to be built - known as buying off-plan.
They bought these homes, now finished, for set prices of up to £600,000 and each paid a 10 per cent deposit.
They hoped the properties would have risen in value when it came to paying the balance two years later.
But as the credit crisis sparked a slump in the housing market, the finished apartments are now being valued at up to 40 per cent less.
The problem has been made worse by banks pulling 90 per cent mortgage deals and refusing to lend the buyers enough to complete on the original deals.
As a result, 83 of them have been forced to default on their contracts. Most are private homebuyers, not investors.
Berkeley Homes is legally entitled to keep their deposit and sue them to recover the difference between the original price agreed and the price at which the property can now be sold.
Berkeley chief executive Tony Pidgley has now written to housing minister John Healey urging him to lend buyers government money to buy the flats - or, alternatively, force nationalised banks to make larger loans.
The Government has refused to get involved in what it sees as a contractual dispute.
Many buyers claim they have been asked for financial information which they fear the company is using to assess how much money they could recoup from suing them.
The Standard has seen letters Berkeley has sent buyers, suggesting they ask richer family members to remortgage their homes to raise the cash.
Steven Dowd, 30, and Helen Glanfield, 43, were forced to default and forfeited their £80,000 life savings.
In 2007 they paid deposits on two two-bedroom flats in Caspian Wharf valued at £375,000 and £415,000.
Berkeley has now put the properties on the market at much lower prices, and written to them warning it will pursue them for as yet undecided "damages". Given current market values, this could total £160,000.
Mr Dowd said the stress has ruined his health and left him struggling to hang on to his job. "We have no more savings," he said.
Nick Raynsford, former housing minister and MP for Woolwich, where many of the buyers live, said he had discussed the issue with Berkeley.
He said: "While homebuyers have legal obligations, it is unreasonable to expect them to bear the full financial loss without assistance from the housebuilder.
"I sincerely hope Berkeley Homes will seek fair solutions which do not harshly penalise individuals who bought in good faith more than a year ago."
A Berkeley Homes spokesman said all buyers had received legal advice about their obligations before exchanging contracts and the firm was continuing "an open dialogue".
He added: "Berkeley Homes has asked purchasers to appreciate they cannot be released from contracts or offered price reductions.
"Manifestly, this would be unfair to those who have been able to complete."

S&P sounds alarm for Northern Rock
Standard & Poor's sounded the alarm on some of Northern Rock's mortgage assets, warning of a possible hike in bad debts as consumers struggle to make repayments.It says that arrears in the Rock's Granite vehicle - which contains £29.4bn of mortgages that have been 'securitised' and sold on in the debt markets - have climbed to 4.67% from just 0.44% at the start of the credit crunch in September 2007.
The credit rating agency has placed 101 different classes of loan notes in the Granite portfolio on watch for a possible ratings downgrade.
It is concerned about the high loan-tovalue ratios and the fact that this may have attracted borrowers who were less able to afford the repayments.
S&P says 'we believe that a significant proportion of the underlying [mortgage] pool may come under increasing payment pressure, ultimately leading to increased realised losses'.
It is also worried that borrowers will have limited options to remortgage when their fixed-rate offers come to an end because all lenders have been tightening criteria on loans.
Northern Rock's first-half results showed its total mortgage book was £62.3bn including Granite at the end of June.
At that time, 3.92% of its customers were more than three months in arrears, above the 2.39% industry average.

Fee-free deals to help first-time buyers
First-time buyers are finally being given the chance to get decent mortgage deals without paying sky-high application fees - a privilege that until recently has been reserved for well-heeled remortgage customers with plenty of equity in their homes.Application fees have risen steadily since the start of the credit crunch.
Typical costs from High Street lenders are now £995 - though some online or phone banks such as First Direct, and regional lenders such as Nottingham Building Society, have deals with application fees of £1,498 and £1,495 respectively.
It's not even that easy to ease the pain of high fees by adding the application cost to the loan.
Many lenders no longer allow this for new buyers and will ask them to pay the fee up front. (Mind you, this is probably a good thing as paying interest on a fee for the life of a mortgage almost triples its original cost).
But at last a handful of big-name lenders are offering fee-free deals to first-time buyers and existing owners who want to move up the housing ladder.
The interest rates on offer are higher than on the mainstream fee-carrying alternatives, but not so much higher to make them an automatic bad choice.
In general, experts say that anyone who needs a mortgage of less than £100,000 is likely to be better off on a low or no-fee deal even if the interest rate is slightly higher.
The larger a mortgage gets, the more important it is to find a very low interest rate, even if this means paying a high fee.
Those bucking the trend include Alliance & Leicester, Britannia and Northern Rock and are all worth looking at if you want a no-fee option.
A&L, for example, has a best-buy four-year fix set at 5.09% with a £995 fee. Its fee-free alternative is set at a relatively modest 0.5% higher at 5.59%.
Britannia has fee-free fixes for both five and ten years, at 5.59 and 5.69% respectively. They are both set no more than 0.5% above the rates it offers for people paying £999 application fees.
Northern Rock's premium for a no-fee deal also comes in at under 0.5% on most loan-to-value scenarios.
The lenders' generosity does have its limits, of course. Big deposits are required for most of the fee-free options - 30% for Alliance & Leicester, for example.
The other thing to bear in mind is that, at the moment, most of the fee-free deals are offered only on fixed-rate mortgages.
However, HSBC is one of the few banks to extend the option to trackers. They are offering firsttime buyers with 25% deposits a fee-free tracker at 3.29% over the Bank of England base rate for the life of the loan. If you pay £799 you get base plus 2.45%.
With all trackers it is important to remember that today's low payments will shoot up if interest rates rise. That's why trackers are rarely recommended for first-time buyers who normally need payment security as they face up to the full costs of being a homeowner.

We hunt out the extremely limited sub-prime mortgage options available
The sub-prime mortgage meltdown has been well documented and the UK market has been all but obliterated in the last two years. Many sub-prime lenders simply shut up shop, with others stopping all new lending and existing with a skeleton staff servicing existing clients.
Back in 2007 the sector was thriving with dozens of lenders distributing a vast range of products to borrowers with pretty much any level of bad credit history.
Undischarged bankruptcy? No problem.
Unlimited County Court Judgments (CCJs)? Step right up.
Massive mortgage arrears? We've got just the deal for you.
After all, with house prices booming the lender always had the secured property to fall back on, didn't they?
And rates were keen as mustard, with many bad credit borrowers paying very little more than mainstream mortgagors. It could be argued that the cheap deals on offer gave little incentive to clean up your credit history and get back on track, since there was always another deal to switch to at the end of your current one - whatever your financial problems!
That's not the case anymore though.
Few and far between
If you have a bad credit history, mild or serious, you will struggle to find a deal in the current market - especially if you try to go it alone.
But there are still some sub-prime mortgages available if you go through the right channels, albeit limited to borrowers with very mild credit problems. They are all available though mortgage brokers only, meaning you cannot access these products yourself via phone, online or in a branch. Indeed the lenders operating in the sub-prime market don't have branches.
Who is lending and what's on offer?
Platform Home Loans is part of Britannia Building Society and therefore now part of Cooperative Financial Services.
It is now only offering products to those with the mildest of credit problems in its 'Almost Prime' range. The broker-only lender will accept CCJs per applicant up to £500 providing none are in the last three months and a bankruptcy or IVA discharged or completed at least four years ago. However, it won't accept borrowers currently in mortgage arrears.

You Can Still Apply For A Bad Credit Loan Or A Bad Credit Remortgage
Many people in the UK are struggling under the burden of a pile of debt because they think that loans which could offer them a glimmer of hope in the dark tunnel in which they find themselves are simply not available. They convince themselves that there is no financial help available. This is simply not correct. There are still funds available for all kinds of loans whether it is a debt consolidation loan, a secured loan, a homeowner loan, a car loan, etc. etc.
Many people with a good credit rating are of this belief, so what about the others with a poor, or even an extremely poor rating? They struggle on thinking that no lender would as much as grant them a second look. Due to the present economic climate their household income has been reduced due to overtime hours having been cut or one household member only now working part time hours for example. For the first time in their life they, through no fault of their own, have defaults registered against their name due to making late payments on their credit cards and loans. In the process of robbing Peter to pay Paul, some mortgage payments have been missed resulting in mortgage arrears being registered against them with credit reference agencies such as Equifax and Experian. They struggle on and no longer have the priviledge of enjoying a really good night's sleep. This is giving yourself needless torment. Granted if you are a tenant it will be virtually impossible to get help with your financial struggle,as unsecured lender, Welcome Finance, who specialized in sub prime loans is no longer lending. However if you are a homeowner bad credit loans are still available.
The interest rates are actually quite high, but who can expect anything else to be the case when these adverse credit loans are available to homeowners with unlimited adverse points registered against them? The oldest UK secured loan lender, which in 2002 became known as Prestige Finance, are offering bad credit loans to homeowners at up to 60% LTV, that is, loan to value, and up to 55% LTV for the self employed. At this LTV up to a maximum of four missed mortgage payments in the course of the past year are acceptable. If however the four missed payments occured in four consecutive months the application will have to naturally be referred for prior approval to the bad credit loan lender.Unlimited adverse in mortgage arrears, defaults, CCJ's are accepted at 50% LTV. This means that if your property is worth £300,000 and your mortgaqe balance is £120,000 you can borrow up to £30,000. The bad credit loans are available from £5,000 minimum to a maximum loan of £30,000.
Self certification of income is available for those who are self employed. However if this self employed individual has more than four months mortgage arrears, an accountant's certificate is required to back up the self declaration. Therefore for those crushed under a heavy mountain of debt these bad credit loans are a God send, and offer the poor suffering homeowner a much needed breath of relief, and should see them through the credit crunch when their working hours return hopefully to normal If repayments are kept up, and remember to make sure that you can afford the repayments, and that the loan will 100% alleviate your financial situation,you will in the future , be eligible again, with this tidying up of your debts and credit,thanks to the bad credit loan, to apply for status finance for loans, credit cards, etc.If it is a remortgage that you prefer,the good news is that bad credit remortgages are still available and these offer you the same life altering peace of mind changes as do the bad credit loans.
Two of the main bad credit remortgage lenders are Platform &The Mortgage Works. They also accept self declarations of income for the self employed, but be warned that they do reserve the right to ask for back up proof of income in the form of an accountant's reference or even full accounts. Both these types of bad credit borrowings should enable you to come out of the tunnel at the end of the credit crunch in a healthier state than you are in at present, that is in a healthier state financially and also in your mental well being. Just make sure before applying for either of these bad credit loans that you can afford the repayments, and that they will definately help your financial struggles, and take you out from under the burden of debt. The apply for the bad credit loan, and enjoy your new peace of mind.
