Mortgages in Crisis
Overview
Who could have seen this coming? Certainly not anyone in our offices. Remember when credit card companies eagerly handed out endless plastic cards? Now, they want it all back! That friendly loan scenario is a thing of the past. Lenders who once threw money at you now demand solid proof of your repayment ability. Even if you have a good credit rating, money in the bank, and healthy property, securing a loan or credit card can be challenging.
What About Mortgages?
Absolutely. Lenders are scrutinizing documentation and appraisals more than ever. The chances of securing a 100% finance deal are practically nonexistent. With rising rates and the possibility of falling house prices, borrowing against shrinking equity is unwise. We witnessed a similar situation in the '80s, and some still haven't learned their lesson.
And Credit Cards?
It's the same story. Banks are stabilizing their finances, and consumers bear the brunt. Credit card terms are increasing, so it's crucial to pay your bills on time and check your statements to ensure your APR hasn’t skyrocketed unexpectedly. You’d be surprised how many people neglect to review their statements or online accounts.
Considering a New Car?
A quick glance at current finance deals reveals rising lending rates compared to just a year ago. The simple solution is to secure a fixed-rate payback plan and stick with it. Taking on a variable rate could consume your monthly budget or even lead to negative equity. Always shop around for the best finance deals. Many websites offer comparison tools to help you find favorable options.
A Word About Holiday Expenses
With the holidays approaching, we all need cash for gifts and festivities. However, remember that a loan isn't just for the season. It can become a long-term commitment, potentially lasting for the duration of your mortgage.
