FSA salaries soar 22% in five years

The majority of people in the UK are facing a pay freeze or a pay cut, but not the FSA or the banks. If pay for both of the aforementioned was performance related I would expect them both to take a huge pay cut.

Quarter use equity release to help family

In the Eastern world it is ordinarily the case that families pass money up and down the generations, treating themselves as a facilitator to many things. Research like this is hopefully an indication that here in Britain we are beginning to realise that wealth untapped and unused when most crucially needed, is actually a waste of an asset.

Connells and Skipton offer 95% exclusive

I’m a firm believer in buying and never renting. Paying £800 pcm rent is money down the drain and you never own anything. At least on a repayment deal, you build up equity. Most buyers are also taking a long term view to home ownership so this is a good way to get new buyers onto the property ladder. Good for Skipton and lets hope they roll it out to brokers soon.

MMR: Time to go back to the beginning?

MMR. Nobody asked for it. Nobody wanted it and nobody has benefited. It has caused uncertainty for advisers, lenders and customers. How can we be expected to plan the future course out of recession for our businesses? It is just pathetic.

Housing’s united front has vanished

The point that politicians seem to miss is that working together generates confidence and it’s that confidence that the experts say is still missing. Let’s hope that the industry can do more together to make real progress happen now.

ECJ bans gender underwriting for protection

Why doesn’t our government stand up for the UK? Gender pricing is fair and has proved to be so over the years.
