Mortgage broker can help bag a bargain
Competitively priced mortgages are hard to come by during the credit crunch. Not only that, if you’ve got a poor credit history you could be turned away by high street lenders all together. But a mortgage broker might be able to help – with access to thousands of home loans they could find the right one to suit your financial circumstances. And finding a mortgage broker has never been as timely as property prices have dropped at record levels, providing plenty of opportunity for some first time buyers, property investors or those who want to step up on the property ladder.
Mortgage broker helps secure home loans
As UK prices continue to recede in consecutive months, 2008 could be a good year to buy. But in order to move swiftly to snap up a bargain you need to have a good mortgage broker on your side so you’re ready to buy. This is particularly so if you’re looking to buy at auction. The number of house repossessions are set to double this year as homeowners who over stretched their finances are hit by interest rates and struggle to stay afloat during the credit crunch. Although repossession is bad news, for property investors repossessions can offer rich pickings as they can snap up a bargain with more homes being put up for auction.
Get a mortgage in place, act fast
But a mortgage broker could make the difference between securing your dream property and losing it. The Bank of England has published figures that show the number of mortgage approvals fell in December and look set to fall again throughout 2008. Mortgage brokers can help investors looking to buy commercial properties too. The credit crunch has seen returns on commercial property dive into negative territory for the first time since the early 1990s. But now, there are property developers who see there are great bargain to be had. If you have a competitive mortgage in place or are cash rich, 2008 could be a bumper year.
Waiting in the wings
According to a report in the Telegraph newspaper – even though the housing slump is only a few months old, investors are already ‘waiting in the wings to snap up cut-price assets’.
