Deal Direct's remortgage advice becomes more important.
Mortgage and remortgage advice from Deal Direct has become increasingly important following a proposal by the Mortgage Market Review to implement a ban on non-advised sales.
It is believed that mortgage comparison sites could fall foul of the MMR consultation paper published in December 2011, which proposed the majority mortgage sales should be advised. Deal Direct provide one to one remortgage advice to customers and understand that online mortgage comparison is often not enough.
We carefully review and consider an individual's circumstances through the information provided. We assess each case individually and decide which mortgage product is most appropriate for a customer's needs and personal circumstances.
With comparison sites this is not always the case according to Bovill consultant Kate Robinson, who says that the consequences of the MMR proposals may be serious for those currently operating a mortgage advice service without FSA permission. Those in this position are likely to have to stop trading until they have FSA permission.
She added that this may be both time-consuming and costly and could mean some mortgage comparison sites will be lost from the market.
Deal Direct's mortgage and remortgage advice is based on an individual's personal financial circumstances and needs. Our advisers are up to date on lenders changing mortgage criteria and rates, we are well placed to find the right deal for you.
