Importance Of A Mortgage Loan Accounting Reports When Buying A Property

You’ve opted to use a mortgage supplied by ‘your Lender’ to help you partially fund the purchase of your new home. As a result, it’s critical that you grasp the nature of a mortgage and the responsibilities you’ll have to your lender.

The capital you borrow must be repaid to the lender, just like any other loan. The conditions of this will be determined by the type of mortgage you have chosen, which is described below. In all situations, the lender will charge interest on the money owed from time to time, and while this may be discounted or set for a period, it is likely that the loan will be subject to interest at the lender’s ‘variable rate’ throughout the remainder of its life. You should be aware that the lender’s variable rate can fluctuate, affecting the monthly payment you must make to your lender. You should make sure you have the financial flexibility you need to deal with rising interest rates.

A mortgage, unlike other types of loans, is secured,’ meaning that if repayments are not made, the lender can seek a Court Order for possession of the property and eventually sell it to recoup the loan and discharge the obligation. Failure to pay your mortgage may result in you losing your home, according to your lender’s documentation, which includes the application form you filled out. Furthermore, the Mortgage Conditions will impose on your obligations to your lender to maintain and ensure the property throughout the period of the loan. You must safeguard the property not only because it is your residence, but also because it serves as collateral for your lender’s loan.

You should also be aware that if you are unable to work due to illness, injury, or loss of employment, your interest payments will continue to fall owing to your lender. While your lender will be sympathetic to problems of this nature, and you should certainly notify them of any difficulties you may be experiencing as soon as possible, you should also consider purchasing insurance to protect yourself against situations like these causing you to fall behind on your payments. There are many policies available, and you should read the fine print carefully to ensure that you have the coverage you require.

Finally, before we get into the specifics of your mortgage offer, you should be aware that if you are purchasing the property with a spouse or partner, or as a business venture with someone else, and both of you appear as borrowers on the mortgage offer, you will be jointly and severally liable to your lender for the loan. This means that each of you will be responsible for the entire loan amount. Your lender is not obligated to pursue you for one-half solely in the event that you default. It can look to either of you at that point if you have enough income or other assets to cover the total amount owed.

The terms of your new loan are as follows:

• Interest-Only Loans

Only the interest on the amount borrowed is paid to the lender in this sort of mortgage. As a result, at the conclusion of the period, the original amount borrowed will still be owed. As a result, you should carefully assess how that sum can be repaid at the conclusion of the period. Endowment or pension policies, for example, maybe beneficial, and we strongly advise you to seek independent financial advice. If you have such a policy, make sure it goes into effect right away or as soon as possible following completion.

• Payments Due Each Month

Please contact your Broker/Financial Adviser or the Lender if you have any questions about your monthly payments. The monthly repayment specified in the offer is £376.00 at the first interest rate offered. You’ll also have payments to make to the providers of any life insurance or savings products you’ve linked to this mortgage.

• Buildings Insurance

On your lender’s block policy, your property can most likely be insured for its full reinstatement value. If you are arranging your own building insurance, it is a condition of the mortgage offer that we submit full details of the policy to your lender, and you should send us a copy of the current schedule of insurance as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that your lender will not disburse the advance funds unless this criterion is met.

• Insurance for the contents

Unless your lender has agreed to provide such coverage for you, you should do so as quickly as possible. Of course, it’s possible that you’ve already done so.

• Important Notes

You should have received a booklet of mortgage conditions from your lender, which will be integrated into the mortgage by reference. The terms and conditions on which the money is lent and secured by the Mortgage Deed are presumed to be known by you. If any issues emerge that you would like to discuss with us before we exchange contracts, please do not hesitate to bring them up.

• You won’t be able to get a second or subsequent mortgage on your home because your lender won’t let you without its permission
• Without your lender’s permission, you will not be able to rent out the property.
• Without your lender’s permission, you will not be able to make significant changes to the property consent.
• Your attention is directed to the Lender’s valuer’s observations in his report to the Lender.

If your Lender discovers mistakes on the mortgage application form, it may cancel or change the mortgage offer at any time prior to completion. Contracts may have been exchanged in those circumstances, and the Contract’s liabilities will remain despite the withdrawal of the mortgage offer. In such cases, the financial implications of breaching a contract can be significant.
