Subject: Bulletin from STL Group plc: Mortgage lenders say yes to personal searches

Bulletin masthead  
 
The number of mortgage lenders who accept personal searches is increasing, indicating growing confidence in their quality now that local authority searches contain identical data. 
 
This list is likely to grow further following a "rigorous and detailed investigation" by the Property Codes Compliance Board (PCCB) into the level of compliance with the HIP Regulations and the Search Code. The results show that searches were "substantially compliant" and that personal searches are as good, if not better than searches carried out by local authorities, and significantly superior to those produced by non-subscribers to the Search Code.   

 

Quality and standards you can trustSearch Code logo
 
With searches continuing to compete on efficiency and price, we believe that standards will become more important and a key differentiator if HIPs are scrapped.  

 

To ensure you and your clients have faith in the information you receive, and for a guarantee of quality and standards, make sure your search provider is registered with the PCCB and your search carries the Search Code. 
 
Next steps
 
For information on pricing and turnaround times, or to order a local authority search - whether a personal search or one conducted by the local authority - visit our website or call 01483 715355 or email us.

House builders discuss 95% mortgages with lenders

So the house builders and the lenders have had a meeting to discuss how they can create 95% mortgages. Basically a good thing, as you would imagine most estate agents would say. But what proportion of the housing Market is represented by new homes sales to first time buyers? Also any first time buyer who purchases a new home is then a cost to the second hand Market of who knows how many sales! If I think back 30 years my wife and I as first time buyers were providing a deposit of 10%. To do this we sold her car, saved up by not going out as much and generally committed ourselves to the task of buying our first home together. Ah, you might say, but house prices were so much cheaper then. True but my salary was just under £2,000 per annum with the prospect of perhaps another £1,000 in commission from selling at lease 6 houses per month personally. The first 4 didn't count towards commission but were to cover my costs to my employer! I personally don't think 95% mortgages are ...

CHRISTMAS 2019 - RENTAL HOMES

CHRISTMAS 2019   The festive season is not far off and we just wanted to take this opportunity to confirm our opening hours over the Christmas holiday period and also to outline a few procedures: We will close for the holiday period at   Midday on 23rd December . Opening on   27th and 28th December between 9am and 1pm . We will open normally from   2nd January 2020 at 09.00 . Day to day issues which could wait until normal office hours resume on the   2nd January 2020 , should be reported then.   Our contractors may be on call but many of their suppliers close down over the Christmas period so parts can be hard to locate. We will not attend any “lockouts” over the Christmas break but can pass on the details of a good local locksmith if this occurs – the cost of which will, of course, be yours. A small request   – if you have   any   problems with your heating and hot water now or maybe an appliance that is a bit temperame...

Call to Arms - From the Guild of Professional Estate Agents

I received this in an e-mail newsletter from the Guild and felt I simply had to re-publish it here... A Call To Arms.... We know that the UK estate agency market is the most competitive in Western Europe, with the fees levied being only a fraction of those applicable in most developed countries (even when compared to the supposed paragon of the free market, the USA). We also exemplify the specialist skills involved in successfully selling a property, and help mitigate the significant risks involved to the buyer and vendor from acting without professional advice and guidance. Finally, if the rate of consumer dissatisfaction has fallen by half to 12% since the last report, then the service is clearly rapidly improving of its own accord (given the current absence of licensing and mandatory qualifications). The market statistics also speak volumes. Too many estate agents chasing too few transactions has meant that only a small minority are making healthy profits. With over 2,000 offices ...
