Remortgage advice increased just before the referendum

Remortgage advice increased just before the referendum There is already news across the board that business is maintaining traction, with minimal transactions falling through New research from LMS has found that the percentage of remortgagors who chose a broker or adviser to help guide them through the remortgage process shifted by 3% from 38% in May to 41% in June. This was the highest amount since December 2015 – as more people looked for reassurance and stability for their finances ahead of and immediately after the EU referendum. The uncertainty in the lead up to the vote also contributed to a push in the number of people remortgaging* and saw more homeowners opt for the security that comes from a longer-term fixed rate mortgage – even if this was more expensive in the short term. There was a bounce of four percentage points in the number of borrowers remortgaging to take advantage of a lower mortgage rate, rising to three in five of respondents (60%) in June from 56% in May 2016. Almost two in five (38%) who remortgaged in June did so to reduce their mortgage payments by up to £500 – up six percentage points from 32% in May 2016 – while more than a quarter (27%) remortgaged to increase the size their loan. 19% increased the size of their loan by more than £10,000. The most common use for money withdrawn by remortgaging was spending it on home improvements. More than a fifth (21%) used their equity in this way. One in ten (9%) borrowers used the cash from remortgaging to pay off other debts, up from the 7% who did so the month before. There was also a small percentage of borrowers (3%) who used the money to help their child up the property ladder. Andy Knee, Chief Executive of LMS, commented on the findings: “Although the effects of the UK’s vote to leave the EU are yet to be seen in the coming months following the referendum, there is already news across the board that business is maintaining traction, with minimal transactions falling through. This is fuelled, no doubt, by an overwhelming shortage of housing in the UK and in big cities and is likely to keep demand up and the market ticking over. The low interest rates currently available are very positive for homeowners and speculation of the base rate being cut to 0.25% is increasing the supply of these offers. However, longer-term fixed products are becoming increasingly popular as homeowners look to stability in these turbulent times. The desire for greater security and assurance is also reflected by the increase in people using a broker to help guide them through the remortgage process. As Mark Carney cautions fresh mortgage borrowers to be prudent and think about long term affordability, it’s important to remind remortgagors to do the same. It may be smarter at this point to capture savings from remortgaging quickly by lowering rates and your repayment amount instead of borrowing more.” Source link

Pressure grows on chancellor to drop Land Registry privatisation again

Big property developers are urging chancellor George Osborne to drop his plans to privatise the Land Registry. The British Property Federation said that while the service badly needs investment, privatisation is not the answer. Plans for the £1bn sale were announced in the Queens Speech earlier this month. The measure is to be contained in the Neighbourhood Planning and Infrastructure Bill.  The chancellor has already been forced into a U-turn once on this issue and pressure is mounting for a repeat. A previous move to privatise the Land Registry by the coalition government was blocked by the then business secretary Vince Cable in 2014. With the LibDems out of the picture, George Osborne is having another crack at it, but not without substantial opposition. A petition against the new move has attracted nearly 300,000 signatures. While some are just opposed to all privatisations, others have specific concerns about what is currently public information about who owns what property no longer being available. All the Land Registry does is store information. A privatised Land Registry will not be subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. With no possibility to shine a light on the Land Registry, the reputation of the UK – and London in particular – as a safe haven for overseas money launderers and oligarchs will be free to continue unchecked. The specific concern of the British Property Federation (BPF), however, is that they fear investors could be spooked by the perceived threat to the security of property title. Responding to the government consultation on privatisation, the BPF stresses that security of title is one of the big attractions for overseas investors in UK real estate, who have steadily become more important players in the commercial property market. Security of title underpins billions of pounds’ worth of lending to commercial property and if it were undermined in any way, it would make the job of renewing the urban environment considerably more difficult and expensive. The BPF also points out that over the past few years, there has been a noticeable drop in service quality levels at the Land Registry, and that additional investment is badly needed. Chief executive Melanie Leech said: “The Land Registry plays a crucial role in ensuring that real estate transactions are transparent and smoothly effected. It also plays an important part in making the UK attractive to those who invest in our towns and cities. “Our concern would be that in the rush to push through these proposals important questions about the quality of service do not get the airing they deserve. Should the government go ahead with privatisation, it is critical that incentives exist for a new operator to invest in service quality and to retain the Land Registry’s deep pool of legal expertise. The Land Registry is often taken for granted but its activities facilitate important and much-needed regeneration across the country.”       This article was published on 27 May 2016 (last updated on 27 May 2016).

Technology in Smart Cities—The Innovations of the Future

An exciting chapter awaits modern society as technology transforms city living. Much of what the average citizen has been used to for the past few decades will change. Are you ready for what’s coming? It’s called Smart City living and these developed urban areas will make life easier for everyone involved: Citizens The government that needs to respond to citizens’ needs and requests Visitors to a new city Even the environment will experience some much needed relief So while many believe technology negatively impacts society, a technologically driven Smart city will paint a different picture. And the changes are exciting! Let’s prepare you for what’s to come. What Sparked the Change? Firstly it’s important to understand why this movement should be compulsory for all modern societies. Let’s have respect for the change so we don’t ever abuse it. It’s a known fact that industrialization puts the environment under pressure and technology tends to rule society. Most modern citizens also experience a lot of frustration with local government. The good news is that the smart use of technology can alleviate many of these problems: Less pressure should be placed on the environment and technology enables sustainable infrastructures. When communication tools are used correctly government can draw the right data so they can respond to citizens’ needs more dynamically. Increased contact between the two parties leads to less misunderstandings and frustration. With many cities struggling to meet budget restraints it’s necessary to find cheaper ways of doing things. Technology is the solution here as well. These are the motivations behind Smart City features and why all cities should consider this. If you’re looking for some personal motivation, have a look at these innovations. They’re bound to make your city not only more practical, but much more fun and enjoyable to live in. The Innovations Future Citizens Will Enjoy While some aspects can already be found in some Smart cities such as Amsterdam and Tokyo, other technology is still in development. It’s inspiring to see new inventors of the young generation identifying changes. They grew up in a tech driven society. For them a technologically driven society is the norm and they have fresh ideas on how tech can develop even more for everyone’s benefit. Let’s Cool Down The first thing to understand about advanced cities is that there is an important reason behind every change or invention. These advances in technology aren’t simply fuelled by pleasure or entertainment. One aspect relates to an attempt to cool down modern cities: Some cities attempt to increase tree canopies with 50%. This will look great, but they also add more shade and help temperatures drop. Some buildings can also have gardens and trees on top or on specially designed structures. This helps to keep the building cool. Cities can use unique substances to cover roads instead of tar. When you use lighter shades on roads and sidewalks less heat will be absorbed. Why is this a necessary change? Because urban areas are proven to be hotter than other spaces and because of global warming cities need to find a solution to combat the problem. Another advantage the moment we cool down buildings in alternative ways is that we’ll use air conditioning system less which saves energy. Next Level Automation Speed is a major motivation behind many modern inventions. People want things quickly whether it’s shopping for appliances online or when they’re in the mood for take away food. And what makes things happen faster? When you automate steps in the process. In future most citizens will benefit from faster services. When emergency services don’t have to wait for someone to report a problem or send out personnel to look for challenges—potholes, broken lights or traffic accidents—these disruptions will be dealt with sooner than you’re used to at the moment. Thanks to technology automatic problem reporting becomes a reality. Sensors can tell when it’s time to clean a garbage can or to fix a traffic light without anyone even noticing there’s a challenge yet. Even parking can be sourced and paid for instantly. Get ready to complain less—not more—about your public servants from now on. Data About Everything But what will be behind all these changes? How is it possible? This is one of the main features of a modern cities: Mass collection of data or as it’s called ‘Big Data’. Cities will build infrastructures that enable them to draw this information from features in the city such as traffic. People will also provide data. This happens via SmartPhones, people using public Wi-Fi and accessing cities’ apps for certain services. Tech such as AI can analyze data and draw information which local government can use to everyone’s benefit. Many people fear this will create security risks, but city leaders have already thought of solutions here: Cities can ensure data is anonymized They can focus on data that doesn’t identify individuals Citizens should embrace the opportunity to communicate with authorities more effectively. AI and Machine Learning Are you ready to see the realities of what modern technology can do? Advanced cities will most probably be the environment in which most people will realize the technology they’re used to seeing in movies can actually become part of daily living. Imagine a camera that gives you information about traffic, accidents and more without anyone even looking at the recording. That’s possible when AI (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning start being used to manage traffic problems. It’s still in its development phases but the technology exists to use CCTV cameras to monitor traffic congestion. AI can analyze movement and gauge what the norm in a certain environment is. The moment there’s a disruption in traffic flow it can send an alert so emergency vehicles can be dispatched. [Conclusion] Doesn’t this excite you? We already allow technology into so many aspects of our lives. Isn’t it time it improves our daily experiences and solves a few problems we’ve been grinding our teeth about for so long? Get ready. The future

HVAC and smart energy will fall by £95 million post-Brexit, says BSRIA

HVAC and smart energy will fall by £95 million post-Brexit, says BSRIA Published:  16 September, 2016 BSRIA has released its first snapshot of the UK HVAC and smart energy market landscape for products post-Brexit. The HVAC and smart energy product market is estimated to be worth £4.5 billion in the UK per annum. Market growth was expected to be a healthy 3.1% for 2016 prior to the Brexit vote but Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA) research with suppliers post-Brexit now anticipates this will shrink to 1.1%, a reduction of £95 million compared with the pre-Brexit view. Specifically for air conditioning, predicted growth has dropped from 12.8% down to 5.5%. Smaller splits have suffered due to cool summer in the first half of the year, plus issues with the distribution chain, higher than expected residual stocks and a weakening in the critical retail market. VRF and central plant products are much more closely linked to larger projects close to completion: typically offices and hotels. Project delays resulting from Brexit may have a small effect in 2016 but will mainly impact the market between 2017 and 2019 according to BSRIA. However floor space statistics suggest a big growth in completed projects in 2017 so this will likely mask any Brexit effect until 2018, according to the snapshot. Andrew Giles, director of worldwide market intelligence at BSRIA, said: “Around 80% of the £2.2 billion market is domestic boilers, water heaters and radiators. Renewable alternatives remain niche markets: heat pumps are falling with RHI having a limited impact. The main heating markets are saturated and over 90% of sales are for replacement and extensions/refurbishment.” The UK has the biggest boiler market in the world, by a considerable distance, with nearly 1.7 million boilers sold a year and this is expected to be the case until 2020. There are, however, no longer any British-owned boiler manufacturer companies in the UK: the boiler market is entirely controlled by EU-owned companies, with their headquarters elsewhere in the EU. Post-Brexit, subsequent trade deals between the UK and the EU could prove difficult once Brexit negotiations are defined and Article 50 is invoked. Because of likely increased red tape, importing boilers or components into the UK could be harder. In the short term, BSRIA predicts that companies manufacturing in the UK will gain competitive advantage in the UK because of the lower pound. Building control products should follow a similar pattern to central plant but growth is lower as many sales are to public areas (health, education, central government). Mr Giles said: “For domestic controls, the main markets are valves and actuators, thermostats and domestic controllers. This is a very large market ranging from simple thermostat and valves to very sophisticated smart home devices linking in with apps and other housing devices and services. It has a strong link with the heating market and is principally sold for refurbishment and replacement applications. There will be a maximum effect on the market in 2016 of 2% lower growth, a large chunk of which of which can be attributed to Brexit. Looking further ahead: the uncertainty could start to affect the market adversely in 2017, however it will not be until 2018 that suppliers see the full implications.” Source link

London’s prime market takes further punishment

According to the latest report from hybrid estate agent, eMoov.co.uk, the wider UK market is yet to suffer any detrimental Brexit impact, however it seems London’s £1m+ property market is feeling the strain of the decision to leave the EU. The latest figures for London’s high-end market post-Brexit show that demand has fallen by -10%, now at just 9% on average. This is the lowest level on record and a further drop since demand cooled following April’s changes to stamp duty for buy-to-let and second homes purchases. The five areas of prime central London where demand is at its lowest are Mayfair (3%), St Johns Wood (4%), Knightsbridge (4%), Belgravia (4%) and Fitzrovia (5%). In addition, a notable 75% of London’s most prestigious locations have seen demand remain static or drop since Q2. In fact, the only places to have seen a positive uplift in demand for property over the last three months are Holland Park (+44%), Marylebone (+38%), Notting Hill (+17%) and Primrose Hill (+9%). Notting Hill is also fourth hottest where demand levels are concerned, currently at 14%. With Belsize Park enjoying the highest demand across the PCL landscape (18%), followed by Islington (17%), Chiswick (15%) and Holland Park (13%) completing the top five. Russell Quirk, founder and CEO of eMoov.co.uk, commented: “Yet more bad news for prime central London homeowners, with the Brexit vote seemingly putting the boot in while they’re down after the market took a bit of a kicking due to April’s stamp duty changes. This was always likely to happen as these areas of London rely heavily on high-end foreign investment and second home visitors to survive. Whilst the rest of the UK market seems to be ticking along with little impact as of yet, the immediate weakening of the sterling and negative response from the rest of the EU seems to have had an instantaneous knock-on effect on the prime central London market.” Source link

Research shows homeowners aren’t checking installer credentials

Research shows homeowners aren’t checking installer credentials Published:  22 September, 2016 A new survey by Worcester, Bosch Group has revealed worrying statistics around the habits of homeowners and their heating systems. The study, carried out for Gas Safety Week 2016, found that 42% of Brits would not ask a heating engineer to show their Gas Safe card before letting them work on a gas appliance, with more than one in three unaware that they should even check an installer’s credentials before letting them start work in their property. Among the reasons given for not checking were that respondents had been recommended the installer by a friend, had been too embarrassed to ask or simply felt they looked genuine. Even those who said that they would ask for an installer’s identification stated that there were occasions when they would be inclined to let their guard down. Over a quarter of people were less likely to check that an installer was Gas Safe registered if they had been recommended by a friend, their heating had broken down in winter or if they had struggled to find a heating engineer in the first place. Martyn Bridges, director of marketing and technical support at Worcester, said: “There is clearly a worrying indifference among homeowners when it comes to verifying the credentials of anyone who comes to work on their gas appliances. Initiatives such as Gas Safety Week are an important tool in educating homeowners and protecting the exemplary safety record of heating engineers in this country.” However, what is just as concerning is that one in 10 of the people questioned by the manufacturer had never had their boiler serviced. In addition, a further 46% admitted to having skipped booking in an annual boiler service, raising further questions over the current policy of optional boiler servicing. Source link
