Welcome to the very first issue of Mortgage Focus, we hope our publication will reach out to all of you working in or associated with the mortgage market.
We aim to publish in-depth news, analysis and comment on a particular topic each month and scale down global issues with the effects they have on England and Wales.
As this is our first ever issue we take a look back at what’ s happened in the market so far this year. There will be a magnified interest on specialist lending, including a breakdown of bridging finance qualities and industry comments on the effects Brexit may have on our economy.
With the implementation of the Mortgage Credit Directive rules from the Financial Conduct Authority( FCA) we analyse the effects of its key regulation on today’ s buy-to-let market, as well as a company review of FCA approved brokerage, Pink Pig Loans.
This issue includes some exciting, exclusive interviews from Director of Sales at Precise Mortgages, Roger Morris, and Saville Row’ s first womens-only tailor, Phoebe Gormley.
If you would like to get in touch and offer your own insight or opinion, please don’ t hesitate to contact Mortgage Focus through our social media outlets or e-mail.
