Issue 4 of our newsletter " Mortgage & Protection" news

Caz Blake-Symes • July 13, 2018

Welcome to our latest newsletter for Summer 2018. With excellent mortgage deals still on offer, is this the time to assess your borrowing needs? If so, then we look at differing options and the ways to borrow that might be on offer, dependent on your own personal situation.

Elsewhere, we consider the peace of mind brought about by having suitable protection cover in place, should the unexpected occur. If you felt that it’s unlikely you would benefit from a payout if you had to claim, then think again.

With all this in mind, we highlight how important it is to come to us for professional advice to help navigate you through the massive array of lenders, insurers and their product choices, along with endeavouring to enable you to meet the affordability criteria on mortgage loans.

Finally, the Buy-to-Let landlord represents an important and sizeable piece of the property marketplace, but recent developments mean that it’s vital that they take advice on regulatory and tax developments, and perhaps consider if Limited Company status is a suitable route forward.

We hope you find the issue of interest and, once you’ve had a chance to look through, do pass it onto friends, relatives or work colleagues, if you think it may be relevant to them too.
