Lenders appear to be starting to relax their requirements for approving both debt consolidation loans as well as mortgages according to figures released by financial information provider, Moneyfacts. As a consequence of the credit crunch lenders have been insisting on a 25% deposit for any advance secured against property. According to figures released through Moneyfacts, as many as a third of recent mortgages have been approved with a smaller downpayment. As more mortgages are granted with smaller deposits, and with approvals for new mortgages up by 7% in April the news seems better at last. What is not clear is if the lenders are simply responding to market pressures where they are struggling to find customers who can afford the 25% deposit. However it is not all good news for the new borrowers who will find themselves paying higher rates of interest as the now risk-averse lenders judge smaller deposits of higher risk. In the halcyon days before the crunch more than half of mortgage approvals were made on the basis of deposits of 10% or less and debt consolidation loans which were secured on property were regularly made at 100% of property values. Since the credit meltdown debt consolidation loans have been very difficult to find by those in difficulty struggling to afford their debt repayments, they have been forced to find different ways to manage their debt. The hope is that by the relaxing of their lending criteria, the banks may be giving an indication that they are showing more confidence in the UK housing market. The credit card debt of students has caused an escalation in the numbers of students contacting debt management companies for advice and help. Many students are no longer able to manage their debt as even part-time work becomes harder to find. The longer term worry is that the upcoming generation of homeowners and high achievers will be severely adversely impacted by these debt issues even before they embark on a career. In the electronic world of many students, where keyboard and mobile rule, and money, for many, is simply the press of a button, is understandable that some have difficulty managing a budget. The bank of Mum or Dad is finding it harder to help and one has to question if as a group, students are losing their understanding of the value of money. As a group students appear at first not to have been impacted by the crunch, they seem to be spending as much as before it hit. On deeper examination many more are using credit, on credit and store cards to fund the basics of their lifestyle; rents, mobile phone, food, utility bills and books. As many students complete their studies their job prospects do not look good. They are coming onto the job market just as many firms are laying off staff or freezing recruitment. The debt management industry is anticipating a surge of requests for help or advice from the student community on top of the usual requests from all other walks of life with debts of almost any size. IVAs, (Trust Deeds for consumers living in Scotland) and Debt Management Plans are having to be considered by many as an alternative to debt consolidation loans which have been virtually unavailable as a result of the crunch. As these arrangements are not new loans they do not require a property as security. These processes have been largely unaffected by the crunch.
