Government steps in to help homeowners and renters

By |

With businesses across the UK suffering amid the COVID-19 crisis, many workers have taken a hit to their income. it is therefore understandable that many are worried about paying their mortgage or rent. That's why the government has stepped in with a financial support package to help people remain in their homes.

On 17th March, the government announced that mortgage lenders would be offering three-month mortgage payment holidays to homeowners affected by coronavirus. It should be noted that the measure is a temporary reprieve - interest will still accrue on the loan, while the capital sum outstanding will remain unchanged.

Measures were also introduced to assist renters facing eviction. In the Coronavirus Act 2020, the notice period a landlord must give a tenant before starting eviction proceedings was extended until 30th September 2020. While the measure provides relief to financially struggling tenants, it does not exempt them from paying rent, which could lead to further financial difficulty if not appropriately managed.

Financial advice is key

In times such as these, it is essential to seek professional advice to avoid further damage to your finances. If you have any concerns, please get in touch.

What our Customers Say...

Have been with this company for the last few years, Andrew is very professional, perfect at his job., Yet, very accessible and intimate when you call. Feels like a brother. Do I need to say more?!

 

B. Elsammani

Daniel Temperley made it such a simple and smooth process for my mortgage application. Also being a first time buyer he advised me about the whole process from start to finish. Daniel works very hard and he delivered! I got my mortgage offer! Thank you very much Daniel. I definitely recommend Simmonds Mortgage Services !

 

J. Dzikiti

A great service provided by Andrew and his team. Would highly recommend to anyone requiring a mortgage.

 

T. Madurasinghe

After being declined by Santander, due to unusual circumstances, Daniel was able to find a good mortgage for me and I received an offer in less than a month! Very helpful and doesn't do the 'complicated' speak! :-)

 

J. Marr

Andrew's arranged my mortgages for many years. He's very knowledgeable, provides best market options and is very straight forward to deal with. He manages the whole process proactively and gives clear guidance throughout. Thanks Andrew

 

Lou

Andrew provided an excellent service. He worked very hard all the way, and was always very easy to reach (even when on holiday!). Cannot thank him enough. Would definitely recommend.Thanks again

 

Z. Naqash

Andrew was absolutely brilliant throughout all of the process. He made it seem simple and spared me all complexities that people tell you about getting a mortgage. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided and would recommend him to friends in a heartbeat!

 

D. Gough

Andrew was easy to deal with from start to finish for our remortgage. We have some unusual circumstances and other brokers we had tried had only got so far before moving onto "easier" business. Andrew kept on going until we got the outcome we wanted. A new cheaper rate! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

 

C. Domanska-Dredge

Andrew gave comprehensive sound equity release advice and I would not hesitate to use him again in such matters.

 

A. York

Having been recommended to us, Andrew sorted us out with our first mortgage five years ago, and we didn't hesitate to use his services again when it came round to re-mortgaging. Andrew advised us on the various options available, all of which resulted in significantly reduced monthly mortgage payments, and talked us through the benefits of staying with our existing lender versus moving to a new lender - useful advice seeing it was my first time remortgaging and I had little time to research offers myself. I cannot recommend Simmonds Mortgage Services enough.
