Consumer information

We provide a range of consumer information on mortgages and the home buying process.

We have also produced a guide for MPs and their staff when dealing with enquiries from constituents who are having difficulty in meeting their mortgage payments. It covers the key messages that borrowers should be aware of at each stage of the arrears and possession process, and gives details of the organisations that may be able to provide advice and assistance in different circumstances.
