Go Bananas Inc for sub-prime deal

Fareham-based branded lender and packager Bananas Inc, which launched in May 2003, has unveiled an exclusive sub-prime mortgage for those with difficult credit backgrounds.

The new product, funded by Southern Pacific Mortgage Limited (SPML), is open to those borrowers with unlimited arrears, county court judgements and defaults against their name. No lender or landlord references are required and both bankrupts and IVAs are accepted. The mortgage, which has a minimum loan value of £100,000, comes with £500 cashback.

Sue Cox, business development manager at Bananas Inc, said: “This mortgage is aimed at those borrowers who have particularly testing credit backgrounds. As long as they are turning over a new leaf, we are willing to offer this product to them.”

The loan is available to 80% loan to value and is fixed at 5.99% until 1 September 2004. This is followed by a 7.25% fixed rate until 1 September 2005, when the mortgage then reverts to Libor plus 5.25%.

The product comes with a broker”s procuration fee of 1% and a redemption penalty set at 7% in the first year, 6% in the second, 5% in the third, and 1% in the fourth year. Contact: 0870 6000 648

City Homeloans, the latest branded lending division of Fareham-based packager County Group, has unveiled a self-certification mortgage aiming to suit all borrowers, including first-time buyers.

The product comprises a discount rate of 5.15% until 1 December 2004. Relatively few checks are required and none are needed from employers or accountants. The maximum loan to value is 90% and the lending ceiling is £200,000.

Tristan Pile, director of County Group, said: “City Homeloans can offer a range of all-status products, including prime, flexi and sub-prime schemes. These complement the range provided by other branded and panel lenders already available through County Mortgages. To celebrate the launch of City Homeloans, all sub-prime applications will benefit from a full valuation refund, on completion, until the next Libor review.

“In addition, to make access to schemes easier, we have listed them on sourcing system Trigold Prospector.”

An indemnity fee is charged along with an arrangement fee of £395, which can both be added to the mortgage. There are no compulsory insurances.

Redemption penalties are 4% in the first year, 3% in the second year and 2% in the third year.
