Thinking differently about mortgages in 2023
The UK mortgage market has always generated a huge variety of ways to help people achieve their homeownership goals and, despite operating in a higher interest rate and inflationary environment which is placing additional pressure on affordability, an array of mortgage products remain available to meet individual borrowing needs. In the latest episode of Barclays Mortgage Insider podcast, regular host and property expert Phil Spencer chats with Rebekah Commane, Group Editor of Mortgage Strategy and Mortgage Finance Gazette and Michael Clarke, Product, Policy and Regulatory manager at Barclays to evaluate the many different types of mortgages currently on offer. The discussion transitions from the multiple options available for first-time buyers through to the nuances of the Offset mortgage. It includes an in-depth look at Barclays Family Springboard mortgage, the Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor option, the appeal of tracker mortgages and a number of government and lender-led ways to bridge the gap left by the closure of the Help to Buy scheme. This comprehensive overview of the current product arena also focuses on how to integrate a range of offerings into the advice process and how to think differently about mortgages in 2023.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
