Planit Mortgages bucks the trend
Non fee based broker Planit Mortgages reports a strong increase in enquiries from first-time buyers, the buy to let market and those reaching the end of their fixed rate term, despite the Credit Crunch.
MD of Planit Mortgages, Julie Hardman says “‘As the range of mortgage products reduce, it appears, to us at least, that more and more people are turning to a broker for advice and assistance. I was all prepared for a bumpy ride earlier in the year, so I wasn’t expecting such an increase in business when lots of other companies from around the area are either struggling or even worse having to lay people off.”
“We’ve seen an increase in commercial mortgages as well and those with a reasonable deposit are still in a good position to bag a bargain. And with property prices steadily going down, there has never been a better time for people to get on the property ladder.”
