The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has published a report relating to the sale and rent back market. This market has been winning considerable ire over the last few years, owing to the general perception that it largely survives on the misery of those facing financial shortcomings. Despite the presence of many respectable companies, the sector is also replete with companies that are generally categorized as delinquents.
A number of regulations relating to mortgage advice and agreements were introduced recently. Such regulations aim to hold mortgage advisers more answerable for the advice that they impart. To help those who cannot afford to shell out their regular payments, the FSA will look to cut down on the additional costs that are imposed against such mortgage debtors. Efforts to discourage repossession of properties will also be launched.
These steps undertaken by the UK government and the FSA have been appreciated by those in financial difficulties. However, experts believe that for such a clean-up act to be truly successful, the efforts put in by the FSA should hold long-term validity.
