Mortgages for business cash flow or expansion needs
How to use a B2B Commercial Mortgage
Regulation should offer a better safety net for consumers. This is because anyone who wants to sell mortgages, from estate agents to mortgage brokers, must be authorised by the FSA or be part of an FSA-authorised network.
In addition, they must adhere to a raft of rules governing sales.
Businesses that fail to comply with the new regime could be forced to stop trading, risk a fine or even a prison sentence.
But the regulatory rules are not retrospective.
They will only apply to mortgages and variations to existing mortgages that came into force after 31 October 2004.
Salesmen are required to disclose any commissions they are getting and, whether they deal with the whole market or just one lender.
If giving advice, advisers have to consider whether you can afford the mortgage, in an attempt to stem irresponsible lending.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme has been extended to cover mortgage sales.
The scheme is a safety net for consumers, which steps into offer compensation when financial firms go bust.
