UK House Prices Remain Strong Amidst a COVID-19 Affected Mortgage Market

Wednesday, December 16th, 2020

A recent house price index released by Nationwide has indicated that house prices remain strong and continue to grow month-on-month despite the uncertainties that have been brought to the fore by the coronavirus pandemic. *

Volatile Market Conditions Make Professional Mortgage Advice Essential

Mortgage products, criteria, rates, and availability have been volatile since the start of the pandemic, with many lenders reducing their risk appetite to try and combat future issues that may be building up during the current climate. 

This volatility has seen many more potential homeowners and home movers look for professional mortgage advice from a reputable mortgage broker, such as us here at Caboodle Finance. 

The strength of the housing market is likely to have been supported by pent-up demand that could not be satisfied during the early months of lockdown and the introduction of the stamp duty holiday.

Turbulent Times Ahead

Whether these trends continue into 2021 remains to be seen, especially given the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. In the meantime, getting solid mortgage advice from a broker that uses a comprehensive panel of lenders will be a key factor for many wanting to secure the best mortgage they can in these turbulent times, whether buying for the first time, moving home, or a buy to let landlord.

What We Offer

THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT. CONSOLIDATING DEBTS MAY INCREASE THE TERM AND TOTAL AMOUNT PAYABLE.

Your initial consultation is free and you are under no obligation to proceed with a mortgage we recommend. There will be a fee for mortgage advice. The exact fee will depend on your circumstances and may be reduced depending on the loan amount and any commission we receive from the lender. It is estimated that the fee will be £595, but it may range from £495 to 1% of the amount you borrow. The fee is only payable on completion and can normally be added to the mortgage. This will be discussed and agreed with you before you make an application. Please ask for a personalised illustration.

Secured loan rates from 3.95% APRC, although we have plans available up to 29.9% APRC which allow us to assist customers with the most severe credit problems. The overall cost for comparison is 7.65% APRC. For secured loans a broker fee up to 10% of the loan amount borrowed may be payable on successful completion. A lender fee may also apply.
