Comment on Hand back the keys and walk away. by walkaway

well i see no problem with people handing the keys back… this is business, the house is the collateral, especially with 100% mortgages…. The world does not rotate around CREDIT/LOANS…

Karl,

The report link points to an Indo opinion piece rather than your report.

Karl
I have personally experienced putting in a rental offer on a house that had been vacant for months only to be told “sure we can get more than that on social welfare”.

Comment on Tracker mortgages: make sure you don’t miss out! by Gerard Dunne

Gerard Dunne — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:34:53 +0000

Hi MArk

My Fixed rate mortgage of 4.99% finished. I was offered a tracker but the rate was 4.75%. The ECB rate at the time I took the mortgage was (November 2006) was 3.25% My Mortgage Standerisation terms show the tracker after year 5 would be 4.75% which was a margin of 1% above ECB rate. The bank are now telling me they want to take a margin of 3.25%. My Mortgage clearly says that the margin rate on a tracker cannot change over the term of the mortgage. Can you confirm that the bank must offer me ECB plus 1% which today would be 2.25% not 4.75% they are quoting
