Mortgage Lenders Products Available Hit New Low
Moneyfacts has revealed the number of mortgage products offered by mortgage lenders for new borrowers is at its lowest value since the start of the credit crunch.
One year ago mortgage lenders offered 10,726 mortgage products to new borrowers; last Friday mortgage lenders offered only 3,281 according to the financial website Moneyfacts. In July last year when the market was buoyant mortgage lenders offered 13,027 offers to new borrowers and at much better rates currently available from mortgage lenders.
One of the mortgage lenders, Abbey has also confirmed that they won’t be passing on the Bank of England half point interest rate cut to borrowers meaning the interest rate on all Abbey’s tracker mortgages will remain the same unlike many other mortgage lenders. However if you mortgage is currently with Abbey your will automatically receive the rate cut. Other Mortgage lenders have also decided to leave their rates the same, including the now nationalised Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley.
Potential new borrowers have welcomed the half percent rate cut to 4.5%, many expecting their mortgage lenders to cut the rates however as we have seen with Abbey and many others not all mortgage lenders are passing the savings onto their customers.
Mortgage lenders Lloyds TSB and Cheltenham and Gloucester, which Lloyds TSB owns, have announced new customers, will now require 25% deposits to secure new tracker mortgages as opposed to the previous 10% asked for by these mortgage lenders.
However it isn’t all bad news; many mortgage lenders have passed the FULL rate cut onto borrowers. These include the following mortgage lenders; Royal Bank of Scotland, NatWest, Lloyds TSB, Halifax, the Woolwich and First Direct. These mortgage lenders standard variable rates (SVR) will be reduced in the near future, shortly after the cut.
Very few mortgage holders have their repayments with mortgage lenders based on SVR however many find themselves paying this rate when their fixed-rate deal runs out to their mortgage lenders. Mortgage lenders transfer you onto this rate unless you sign up for a new fixed rate deal. SVR is more often than not the most expensive way to have a mortgage with mortgage lenders with repayments to mortgage lenders predicted to rise by as much as 10%.
Although the number of mortgage products offered by mortgage lenders is at their lowest, mortgage lenders are still offering competitive rates that can save you hundreds of pounds in repayments each year over current mortgage lenders. By planning ahead, first of all checking what rate your current mortgage lenders will charge you once your current rate ends and then by searching the market to see the offers available from other mortgage lenders; you can ensure you are getting the best rate for you. Using the services of a mortgage broker can save you time and most will search all mortgage lenders giving you whole market advice and allow you to make an informed decision and give you piece of mind to know you have chosen from the best mortgage lenders offers.
