Conditional Loans Are Just That

Something weird is happening to the mortgage market judging by the bevy of messages I have received in the past few days. Lenders, including those from the big 4 who have made a provisional commitment loan for a property transaction have pulled the pin before the final commitments are made.

In some cases, the loan is now being priced higher than indicated despite the rate cuts) , in other cases they just said no.

At least two DFA followers have been left high and try, and are trying to source alternative finance at short notice.

May just be a glitch, or this could be something more significant given the rising funding costs we are seeing in reaction to the global market uncertainties. A sign perhaps the mortgage market is freezing up?

For those with a property transaction in train, it is worth checking the small print if you have a mortgage ready to go – be sure it is fully unconditional, else you may be caught short!

And if you have experience this recently, let me know. This is something I need to monitor.
