IS IT ALL IN THE MIND?
Ever been in
an empty property and felt you weren’t alone? I shan’t forget walking through
Bolsover Castle late one Halloween evening with my daughter Lynsey, locking up
after a ghost walk had finished – VERY spooky feeling! Do ghosts exist? Visit any
of these properties and you may find out for yourself!
TOP TIPS – FEEL THE TEXTURE
We all spend
ages deciding on colour schemes, going though various tester pots before making
the final decision, but don’t forget that the feel and appearance of surfaces
are also important – read on…

TIM’S BLOG
Tim’s words
of wisdom this month cover the Help to Buy Scheme-the current “in the news”
topic for all would-be home owners. Don’t forget to challenge him to provide
the best mortgage deal, he’s the man to do it!
Early start for Help to Buy 2
Tim Malia from Mortgage Advice Bureau at Wilkins
Vardy comments on the early start for the Help to Buy 2 scheme:
“Consumers have grown accustomed to a limited
supply of 95% mortgages ever since the recession, so the news of a bumper
delivery ahead of schedule will rightly cause a wave of excitement. The Help to
Buy mortgage guarantee has a clear purpose and will answer a real need by
giving options to first time buyers and those homeowners who have seen their
equity eroded and been unable to make their next move. It is undoubtedly a
welcome initiative from a consumer point of view.
“A key ambition over the next three years must
be to re-establish 95% lending as part of a balanced and normally functioning
market. With the government behind it, the market looks set for continued
growth which will hopefully prompt a greater level of overall transactions and
more willingness from lenders to get behind those buyers with limited deposits.
“Clearly there will be a flurry of activity as
lenders bring their implementation and delivery plans forwards, once the final
details of the scheme are confirmed. The important thing is for consumers
to get clear, consistent messages about the mortgage guarantees, how they work
and where they are available. Rather than becoming an overnight
sensation, it would be in everyone’s best interests if the scheme is managed in
a steady and sustainable way.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep
up repayments on your mortgage.
There will be a fee for mortgage advice.
The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. The fee is
up to 1%, but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed.
Tim’s advice
will be essential if interest rates start to creep upwards. Read the latest
from the Bank of England and be prepared.
