Mortgages



Steve Weisner - Independent Financial Adviser Radcliffe & Newlands.  Ask Steve, our resident, before taking out a mortgage.

Property prices - when should first time buyers take the plunge

For most people, it is still a pretty bad time to buy a house in the UK. But not for long. House prices are falling at incredible speed. The crash in the 80s and 90s took many years to play out but if prices keep dropping at this pace then we could reach the bottom more quickly this time around....... Click here for more information.

Your savings safety net

It happens so rarely that we’re not used to banks failing. Look at the media coverage that Barings attracted all those years ago. They even made a (pretty poor) film about it...... Click here for more information.

10% on your savings?

Getting the best rate on your savings is no longer a simple matter. You can’t just look at the headline rate and put all your money into that one bank and forget about it. Is the bank safe? Can I get my money back in a hurry if I get nervous about that bank? What other conditions are there attached to the high interest rate?....... Click here for more information.

Free brochures to help you buy property

MyEggNest working in conjunction with Alexander Sterling/ Radcliffe Newlands have created three new guides to help you when buying a property:
  • 1st time Buyers Service
  • Home Movers Service
  • Buy to Let Service

Each guide is designed to help you with useful information and tips to steer you through the complicated world of buying and selling property....... Click here for more information.

Are you paying too much mortgage interest?

A mortgage is generally your largest financial commitment. It takes a big slice of disposable income and is therefore something you should regularly review to make sure you get a good deal. But when is the right time to review? ...... Click here for more information.

Is Flexibility the way forward?

Flexible mortgages seem to be the product of the moment in property. As they recalculate your interest rate daily (rather than monthly or even annually) they reflect your borrowing perhaps more accurately than traditional loans......  Click here for more information.

Are you playing the waiting game?

Making improvements to your existing home instead of moving has become very popular over the last few years.  It is often the case that clients wait until their existing mortgage deal has ended to raise money for those much needed home improvements ...... Click here for more information.
 

Property - Still a wise buy? 

Over the last 10 years property prices in most parts of the UK have grown at an impressive rate, more than doubling in value. For those just looking to cash in, some stunning gains have been made. For those looking to trade up, any profits from one property will simply be used up in buying the next. .......  Click here for more information.

Don’t over tax yourself
Chick

As with most things, the tax laws surrounding buy-to-let ownership are complicated. Basically, you are liable to pay income tax on the rental income you receive and this is charged at either 22% or 40%, dependent on how you are currently taxed ..... Click here for more information.

Paying off your interest only mortgage

The payments on an interest- only mortgage are lower than on a repayment mortgage but that is because they only cover the interest due. Hence, at the end of the mortgage term, you will still owe the full original amount you borrowed .....Click here for more 

What does Sub-Prime mean?

With all this talk about USA and the Sub-Prime market collapsing, what exactly does Sub-Prime mean? Sub-prime is a term used to describe loans or mortgages supplied to people with lower credit ratings. These credit ratings are decided from a range of different data about you ......

Tax Exempt Saving Plans (TESPs)

One of the best ways to save for your children's future is the Tax-Exempt Savings Plans (TESPs) from friendly societies. TESPs offer parents a simple way to save up to £25 for each family member per month in addition to, or instead of, a CTF.

TESPs can help you build up a lump sum for any child through small regular payments. You choose when the money is available for them, but the policy must run until they’re at least 16 and run for a minimum of 10 years.

TESPs are available for every member of the household so a family of four could save up to £100 a month tax-free and, provided the TESPs have been set up in the parent's names, the money remains firmly under their control. In addition, the flexibility of TESPs mean that they can be set up to mature at different points in a child's life.
