Thames Gateway Mortgages

The Thames gateway is regarded as being as one of the government’s solution to the housing crisis in the South East. They are looking to build 120′000 homes and create 180′000 jobs by 2016 in one of the biggest growth initiatives in the UK.    

Gordon Brown has unveiled plans to investment £9 billion in the Thames Gateway project. The Prime Minister Mr Brown has said that the money will be used to fund infrastructure such as transport, education and new homes. The properties at the Thames gateway will need funding with mortgages.

“The Thames Gateway is about housing but it is more than a housing project. It’s about transport but it is more than a transport project,” said the prime minister.

“It is a historic endeavour to bring so many people of determination and initiative together to create one of the most vibrant and successful areas in the world,” Mr Brown added.

The government plans to build three million new homes by 2020 in an effort to meet the demand for housing. Will investors try to get in on the act and try and buy properties in the Thames gateway with buy to let mortgages?

Missed mortgage payments

Almost half a million UK homeowners have failed to meet a monthly mortgage repayment in the last six months. This is going to be a huge problem for the next couple of years for anyone who has a poor credit mortgage deal, or has risked taking on a low rate mortgage and will now be facing a mortgage rate hike. 

Anyone who found themselves unable to pay their mortgage to should take action immediately and discuss their options with the lender as soon as possible.

According to recent research by MoneyExpert, this found that since July last year around 463,000 people have missed mortgage payments. The personal finance website said that those aged between 25 and 34 were the most likely to have missed payments.

Sean Gardner, chief executive of MoneyExpert, commented: “Missing a mortgage payment doesn’t incur an automatic charge like failing to pay your credit card bill. But it is a sign of real distress as keeping a roof over your head should be the priority for most of us.”

The website cited the “difficult festive period” as a possible cause of many missed mortgage payments. Lenders have a duty to help people with missed mortgage payments and will usually only take serious action after 3 missed mortgage payments.
