Since 2020 the price of mortgages has skyrocketed, which has upset a lot of investors and left 1000s of homeowners in a sticky situation.

And it’s not just the interest rate - the fees on new mortgages have gone absolutely through the roof.
Why? Well we have summarised everything that has happened over the past few years, so in this video I will explain what has happened, why mortgages are so expensive and why those much-hated fees might not actually be so bad…
However, in order to understand all this, let me first explain exactly how mortgages work and what impacts their price.
So by the end of the video you are going to have a great understanding of UK mortgages in 2024 and exactly why the mortgage fees and therefore the mortgage prices are so high.

I’ve noticed lenders charge their application fees, deny the mortgage for a weak reason and pocket the application fee. This is something very few people are talking about

Fees go up from £1000 to £10,000 this doesnt compute no matter how you look at it. Price gouging is occurring, and surprise surprise it's the banks that are being greedy. When interest rates were higher in the past, fees weren't huge at all , and the profits were made from the interest rate. Now banks want a slice of the pie from all angles. The market as we know it will be destroyed by this behaviour. And that is exactly what happens with all businesses when accountants start running the show to make more profit. They gouge away at their good customers until there are none left and bye bye business model.

@marcus.H Q. then who is making the money ? answer. A. The banks. Q. And who is doing the money collecting on behalf of the banks ? A. You are Q. And who is taking the risk ? A. you are Q. And what is driving inflation ? A. The interest rates, which are pushing arrangement fees, cost up. Q. who is pushing the interest rates up to reduce inflation ? A. The Bank of England. Q. Has it reduced inflation A. Probably not because energy costs have also plummeted over the last 18 months which drove inflation in the first place. The main question is Q: Who does this benefit the most ? A. The Bankers Q . Who suffers the most ? A. The tenant paying the rent who has no control over the rates being forced on them. What's the resolution ? Tenant needs to earn more to pay the rent. Tenant gets a pay rise, the person paying their wages has to charge more to customers to accommodate wage increases customers need to earn more.... banks need to pay more wages to their staff.... banks end up back where they started as their large interest rate increases are now dwarfed by their costs of running their bank

@@markkimba74 not to be glib, but this is something we cannot fix. It makes those who own property richer, since inflation reduces their debt in real terms and pushed up house prices. It pushes up wages as inflation keeps going, so in real terms it may or may not make the average worker better off. The banks will see some negative feedback but overall they'll probably benefit. I can't fix it, so why should it be any of my concern?

The biggest elephant in the room, despite being a 'world leading financial services economy' we lack 10, 20 and 35 year FIXED mortgages, yet USA, France, Netherlands to name a few did offer their consumers these products. 30 year fixed is pretty common in the USA... This has now lead to the on-going unfolding disaster of affordability for indebted landlords and adds pressure to selling of property/rent hikes.

Interest rates have not been increased, they have been corrected. They are now broadly in line with rates that have existed for hundreds of years. The problem is that rates were reduced to virtually zero, sparking a massive borrowing binge and then the screw was turned - a classic moneylender's ploy.

From someone who is in the mortgage lending profession, this is a great summary and helps people to genuinely understand that lenders aren't just seeking to scalp everyone for additional profit. Margins are incredibly tight and some mortgages that are written are loss leading as a result of the various cost mechanisms that lenders have no choice but to burden.

There will be fireworks on Fourth of July, but unfortunately not for the property investors. Labour will get an absolute, extinction-level majority that will give them a leeway to do whatever the F they want. I expect they will start with rent controls across the UK, progressive tax on each additional property, more tenant rights... Will it still make sense to be in this market? Maybes yes, but you will need to work 100% harder just to stay afloat...

The numbers are wrong if I’m not mistaken. A £150,000 loan at 5.94% is 150,000 x 5.94% / 12 = £742.50 and the same mortgage on a rate of 4.94% is = £617.50 which is correct.

The fees which are added to the loan are added over the full life of the mortgage. So after 5 years you won’t have paid off the fees and will be relying on the property increasing in value in order to pay off the remaining before you are able to switch to another product. Do you think it’s possible these fees will take all investors capital appreciation? And/or is it a back door way to grabbing investors assets when conditions dictate the rent won’t meet the stress tests in the future?

I look on the bank as a silent partner, they need me to make profits and I need them to lend me the money to invest to make a profit, after a couple of years I refinance and get my deposit back and buy another property so from then onwards the rents I am earning is financed by other peoples money (the banks) and the fact that property doubles in value every 12 years , that will provide a good start for my children, other peoples money So who is using who,capitalism ,short version , and it works,
