Your Clients Are At Risk If They Do Not Keep Up Repayments on Mortgages You Have Provided

Whether Prime or Sub-Prime the chances are that right now you have clients struggling to keep up repayments on their homes and other credit commitments plus associated cross sales. In the past you have always been there for the good things in life like a new home but right now you have clients that need your help – urgently.

Both advisors and clients do not realise that there are alternative solutions available that will pay off arrears, prioritise payments such as mortgages and provide an affordable monthly budget to live on. This is available to most clients when there are no lending solutions/products available and more importantly keeps them in their homes.

You can proactively support this process through your client reviews. Advisors should actively encourage clients to seek appropriate advice or refer them to a reputable debt solutions company like ClearStart Partnerships. By utilising ClearStart’s services not only will you be helping your clients through a traumatic experience but they will rehabilitate your client for future sales opportunities and will pay you up to £600 for doing the right thing.

Surge in overseas mortgage quotes

The holiday season may be over, but it appears that trips abroad this summer have inspired many of us to buy our own place in the sun.

Conti has just had its busiest month since the beginning of the year, with a 20 per cent surge in mortgage quotes issued during September. The value of mortgage applications submitted by the company to overseas lenders also rose to a year high.

Conti says that as property prices fall across Europe, the chance of owning a holiday home abroad may never be better, and with rates at an historic low, it’s even more affordable for British buyers. Whilst the ‘staycation’ trend may have reduced the number of Britons holidaying abroad this summer, many of those who did venture overseas have returned home with plans to buy their very own place in the sun.

Affordable prices, low interest rates, and a healthy appetite by overseas mortgage providers to lend, are all making it easier to buy property abroad. And there’s a growing feeling of confidence amongst prospective buyers, with savvy investors more willing to explore overseas opportunities in their search for better potential returns on investment than they’re achieving in the UK.
