Housing market slowdown?

[bornblueegg]

I've done 8 mortgages this week, all 8 have been purchases

Which lenders?

 

[Benarbia]

Accord, Halifax, Abbey and Northern Rock

 

[bornblueegg]

Northern Rock are lending again! I'm surprised, they want to get rid of existing customers.

Halifax have tightened up their scorecard and are asking for prove of income on 7 at of 10 cases.

 

[Benarbia]

They have 2 divisions almost

One- where they are paying back the government and house the toxic debt

The other where they are lending and they are quite aggresive and offering very competetive products

I can prove income though - otherwise it's mortgage fraud :/

 

[bornblueegg]

Mortgage fraud keeps me in a job

 

[Benarbia]

Pretty impressive, good to know

Ps. I'm also on the board of the FSA and taking your IP address, hth
