UK mortgage market, which should be the three-year stalemate

The Treasury Department has asked Sir James Crosby, former CEO of HBOS, owner of Halifax and Bank of Scotland, to make a report on the mortgage market. His report indicates that he feels the mortgage market stalled until 2010, there will be a shortage of mortgage credit during this period.

Sir James Crosby suggested that the new mortgages may drop below zero next year. This happens because the less money mortgage lenders in the housing market in the UK who would be taking. This will lead to a slowdown the recovery of the housing market and further falls in property prices and falling consumer spending and rising unemployment.

In recent twelve months we have seen the number of new mortgage loans held by mortgage lenders drastically reduced. The amount of new mortgages fell by 62.96% from £ 108 million in 2007 to a projected figure of £ 40 million for 2008. Still, Council of Mortgage Lenders said the number of recoveries in the UK rose 12% in the third quarter of this year. Recoveries should be thrown out at 45,000 at the end of this year, a leap of 71% in recent years

One concern Sir Crosby is the collapse of mortgage credit for housebuilders as they are now dependent on the buyers to pay the bail 10 to 15% on average EUR 21,000. The first buyers find it extremely difficult to put such a large deposit, that the distances to buy their own home. Mortgage lenders are reluctant to offer mortgages above 90% loan to value, because the price of real estate down.

Earlier this month Moneyfacts published information suggesting that there were only 66 cases mortgage left to choose which allowed a deposit of 10% compared to 1197 more than nine months. O'Boy mortgage market has changed in the last year!

Remember that the housing market has seen property prices fall in February 2006, the price and suggests that housing prices will end this year between 15% and 20% lower than earlier this year.

The remortgage market is crisis as borrowers to hunt around for suppliers of a new mortgage loan. Long gone are the time to find a mortgage or remortgage fast. The owners feel unable to remortgage their home due to:

1. down their property assessment
2. total lack of equity in their homes
3. Mortgage constantly evolving approach
4. the withdrawal of mortgage products to borrowers who need more than 90% of mortgages
5. High interest rates

The Chancellor announced the following changes in its draft budget

1. Mortgage providers had agreed to wait three months after someone is delayed before starting the deportation process.

1. The Chancellor said yesterday that the income support mortgage interest (ISMI) and will be further from £ 175,000 to £ 200,000. This support for the benefit of interest mortgages for people who lose their jobs in May by unemployment or illness and are good news. This means that homeowners with mortgages of up to £ 200,000 are now protected after 13 weeks and divided the interests of their mortgage paid until they return to work full time.
