The Number of Mortgage Deals DroppingIndustry figures have shown that the number of new mortgage applications approved by the major banks fell again in December. British Banker’s Association (BBA) members approved 42,088 new mortgage loans last month, the lowest figure that has been seen since 1997 when the data started to be collected. The Cost of Uninsured MotoristsThe government has released figures that show there are more than 2m vehicles on the road in Britain without insurance, that is 1 in 15 vehicles being illegally driven, uninsured on British roads. Teenage Parties not Always Covered by Home InsuranceIt is something you might see on the plot of Eastenders of Coronation Street, but some people actually have to live the nightmare of seeing their home wrecked during a teenage party. This is exactly what happened to the parents of Sarah Ruscoe in Devon recently. Senior Travellers Like to Try New ThingsPeople approaching retirement age are now more likely to be searching for senior travel insurance than their slippers, pipe and newspaper according to new research launched by Prudential. Secured Loans Work Out CheaperAccording to MoneyExpert.com borrowers can cut their monthly repayments on loans if they choose products which are secured against their home, as opposed to just borrowing on unsecured terms. Northern Rock Need to Rescue CustomersThere have been many calls for Northern Rock to offer some kind of rescue package to borrowers who took out the company’s Together loan, a 100% plus mortgage. John McFall, chairman of the Treasury Select Committee is the latest in a long line of supporters for the rescue plan. Northern Rock Might be the Place to BorrowState-owned Northern Rock is set to offer great deals for savers in the coming months, however it is the bank’s existing 800,000 mortgage customers who are the bone of contention. Life Insurance for Armed Service PersonnelUnder a Ministry of Defence (MOD) scheme, 300,000 personnel in the armed forces are being offered life assurance. Before this scheme the forces found it difficult and expensive to get insurance because of the dangerous nature of their jobs. Debt and Fraud Cause Repossessions to SoarHouse repossessions have soared from the beginning of 2008, people who are hit hardest by these repossessions are borrowers who have borrowed more than they can afford against their property. Other causes that have emerged are fraudulent activity by property developers. Rising Home Insurance PremiumsThere have been many predictions of rises in home insurance premiums after the disasters seen during last summer’s flooding, and the money insurers had to pay out. Property owners were expected to face higher premiums throughout 2008 after the widespread floods of last summer cost insurers so much. These predictions have been challenged by new research from Datamonitor, an independent market analyst.
