DLCG - Reinvigorating the Right to Buy and one-for-one replacement The CML has responded to the Consultation by DCLG on extending the Right to Buy and one-for-one stock replacement. Our response emphasises that any extension of RTB should not be implemented in a way which fetters lenders’ decision-making about the suitability of an applicant or of the property. We also flag concerns about the viability of the proposals to deliver one-for-one replacement in different areas of the country. |

UK industry response to FSB principles for sound residential mortgage underwriting practices The UK mortgage industry (CML, AMI, BBA, BSA, IMLA and CBI) has submitted a joint response to the Financial Stability Board’s consultation paper on sound principles for residential mortgage underwriting practices, supporting a principles based approach that provides member states with flexibility. The response highlights the need for the FSB to consider whether the broader regulatory changes will achieve the same outcomes and to ensure that it does not conflict with the FSA’s mortgage market review and EU mortgage directive. |
