The risk of debts, unemployment, repossession [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and sickness is compelling many homebuyers to seek private insurance which will increase monthly repayments by 10-12 pounds per month per 100,000 pounds of mortgage. This would cover the homebuyer for the monthly interest payment on the mortgage if they were ill or lost [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] their job and were unable to work with no income.
Personal debt has now topped a trillion pounds and the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Government is pushing these new initiatives. Homeowners are under pressure and bankruptcy is on the increase as are missed repayments and, in turn, repossessions are rising. It is no sweetener to hear that the taxpayer has paid out 8 billion pounds in benefits in the last 10 years in mortgage interest payments for the unemployed, a cost which the Treasury wish to off-load, back to the public and mortgage lenders.
Enforcing compulsory Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance (MPPI) would [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be unpopular as [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] it increases costs when buying a house, but the experts say that the Government should impose that cost onto the lenders to come out of profits. It is well-known that building societies and banks make huge profits on selling MPPI and premiums are currently around 800 million to 1 billion yearly with only just under a quarter of buyers having it. The profit on this is 250 to 500 million pounds so you can understand the Government thinking.
The Government is very aware that this leaves three quarters of homeowners without any protection if they have a downturn in fortune. The benefits system offers support through Income Support for Mortgage Interest (ISMI) but this has its' limitations on claimants.
The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML), the voice for banks and building societies, advised first-time buyers this week, to take out insurance to protect their homes. But, they are strongly against making MPPI becoming compulsory especially if they are told to pay for it.
Their reaction is one of astonishment and they believe that [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] if the industry has to absorb this cost mortgages will go up as the cost of the insurance will have to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] come from somewhere. Even if it is not seen as a separate premium, it will [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be built in. They say they have seen margins being squeezed for some time now making it impossible for firms to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] absorb this cost too.
The CML are of the opinion that people should make their own choices and arrangements regarding this insurance and it may not be appropriate for everyone. Some people may have more than adequate protection from other insurance, through their employers or substantial [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] savings [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and it is unreasonable to enforce someone to over-cover themselves.
Iain MacQueen-Sims, credit and debt expert of Omnichek, dismissed the CML's remonstrations. He believes making MPPI compulsory would create a safety net and it should not cost the home-buyers a penny more. The lenders can easily fund it without putting up prices and show some loyalty [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to a market that they do very well out of and try to help prevent the loss of peoples' homes. A draft of the European Directive on the mortgage market is in favour of compulsory MPPI in all member states as standard. And a spokesman for the Department of Work and Pensions said that anyone taking out a mortgage should think hard about protecting their income.
