An increasing number of homeowners may be looking to reduce pressure on their finances, new research shows.
In a study carried out by MoneyExpert, it was revealed that long-term fixed-rate mortgage deals have become increasingly popular over recent months. At present it was shown there are some 132 individual fixed-rate products available which last for at least a decade. Such deals account for just over a tenth (11.5 per cent) of all fixed mortgage offers on the market, an increase from the 8.9 per cent proportion that was held in April 2007. Overall, the majority of long-term mortgage deals are shown to last for between ten and 15 years. However, the longest contract currently on the market is from Manchester Building Society which offers a 30-year product.
Following on maintaining their level of monthly mortgage payments it may be possible that consumers are able to manage other spending commitments with greater ease. As such people could discover that they can make repayments on credit and store cards, personal loans and utility bills with greater ease.
Research from the firm also revealed that the typical rate of interest on a fixed-rate mortgage stands at 6.14 per cent, although for some deals this can rise to 7.59 per cent. In April of last year, however, it was indicated the average long-term deal carried interest of 5.89 per cent.
Commenting on the figures, Sean Gardner, chief executive of the price comparison website, reported that following this month’s Budget report long term fixed-rate deals are “here to stay”. However, as an increasing number of money lenders incorporate long-term offers into their product ranges it was also claimed that these deals may not necessarily be of benefit to borrowers should the base rate of interest fall.
He said: “Homeowners could be forgiven for thinking that the recent reduction in interest rates by the Bank of England would ease the strain on their finances. But with average rates on fixed mortgages, whatever the term, on the increase, it’s no wonder people are struggling to meet their repayment deadlines.
“Mortgage providers are rightly nervous about exposing themselves to customers who may not be able to repay their loans, so it’s understandable that the cost of a mortgage is on the up. People should think carefully before agreeing to high-cost, long-term deals because making the wrong decision for you could be significant.”
In addition, MoneyExpert pointed towards a recent study it carried out which revealed that in the six months leading up to December 2007 an estimated 463,000 homeowners missed a demand for payment on their mortgage.
Homeowners concerned about their ability to keep up with mortgage repayments but who are unwilling to tie themselves down to a long-term fixed-rate deal may wish to consider applying for a low-rate loan. In taking out a loan, it is possible that consumers can meet various constraints on their spending and are left with affordable repayments to make each month. This type of loan could be of assistance to a significant number of Britons after Nationwide’s consumer confidence index revealed that the nation’s financial optimism hit a record low in February
Tags: Summarized below are 5 solutions to credit card and other debt.
- Debt Settlement: With this method, a company helps you to negotiate and reduce your outstanding debt/bills by 40-60%. You’ll have to pay a fixed amount each month to your settlement company. The payments accumulate into lump sum cash after months. The lump sum cash is then paid off to your creditors.
- Debt Consolidation: This is one of the solutions to credit card debt and other bills. Here creditors agree to cut down the interest rates and eliminate or reduce late payment charges. You need to make a single monthly payment to your consolidation company which then distributes the money to your creditors.
- Debt Management: This involves a credit counseling session wherein a credit counselor analyzes your finances and debts. The counselor prepares a budget for you so that you can put in more cash towards debt payment. If you are knee deep in debt, the counselor may suggest a DMP wherein he negotiates with your creditors in order to lower the interest rates and cut down late fees.
- Bankruptcy: Filing bankruptcy is no doubt one of the debt solutions. But it should be considered as your last resort because it harms your credit and brings down your score by 200 points or more. Hence it is better to avoid bankruptcy and look for other debt solutions.
- Ostrich Method: This method of dealing with debt involves taking no steps to pay off debt. It is based on the concept that you ignore debt and it will vanish. However, it is not advisable to ignore debts because your credit will be ruined if you do not repay what you owe. Moreover, your creditors may sue you or the collection agencies may harass you constantly.
