MCOB 1.6.1GRP
MCOB applies to regulated mortgage contracts entered into on or after 31 October 2004. Variations made on or after that date to contracts entered into before that date are not subject to FSA regulation but may be subject to the Consumer Credit Act 1974. PERG 4.4.13G2 contains guidance on the variation of contracts entered into before 31 October 2004.12
MCOB 1.6.2GRP
Principle 2 requires a firm to conduct its business with due skill, care and diligence. The purpose of MCOB 1.6.3 R is to reinforce this. The FSA would expect firms to take appropriate steps to determine whether any mortgage it proposes to enter into is subject to FSA regulation.
MCOB 1.6.3RRP
Before a firm enters into a mortgage, it must take all reasonable steps to establish whether that mortgage will be a regulated mortgage contract and therefore subject to MCOB.
MCOB 1.6.4RRP
If, notwithstanding the steps taken by a firm to comply with MCOB 1.6.3 R, it transpires that a mortgage which the firm has treated as unregulated is in fact a regulated mortgage contract, the firm must as soon as practicable after the correct status of the mortgage has been established:(1) contact the customer and provide him with the following information in a durable medium:(a) a statement that the mortgage contract is a regulated mortgage contract subject to FSA regulation,
MCOB 1.6.5GRP
(1) MCOB 1.6.4 R(2) means, for example, that if a firm discovered immediately after completion that a loan was a regulated mortgage contract, the firm would be required to comply with MCOB 7.4 (Disclosure at the start of the contract).(2) Although MCOB 1.6.4 R recognises that firms may become aware that a mortgage is a regulated mortgage contract at a late stage, the FSA expects this to be an extremely rare occurrence. It could arise, for example, if a firm has acted on the understanding,
PERG 4.8.1GRP
Article 61(2) of the Regulated Activities Order makes administering a regulated mortgage contract a regulated activity 'where the contract was entered into by way of business' on or after 31 October 2004.
PERG 4.8.2GRP
The definition does not include administration of a regulated mortgage contract which was not entered into by way of business. See PERG 4.3.3 G for a discussion of the 'by way of business' test. The definition also does not include administration of a mortgage which was entered into before 31 October 2004. See, however, PERG 4.4.4 G and PERG 4.4.13 G for a discussion of how a variation of a mortgage contract entered into before 31 October 2004 could amount to the entry into a
PERG 4.8.3GRP
Under article 61(3)(b) of the Regulated Activities Order, administering a regulated mortgage contract is defined as either or both of:(1) notifying the borrower of changes in interest rates or payments due under the contract, or of other matters of which the contract requires him to be notified; and(2) taking any necessary steps for the purposes of collecting or recovering payments due under the contract from the borrower;but does not include merely having or exercising a right
PERG 4.8.4GRP
Article 62 of the Regulated Activities Order provides that a person who is not an authorised person does not administer a regulated mortgage contract if he:(1) arranges for a firm with permission to administer a regulated mortgage contract (a 'mortgage administrator') to administer the contract; or(2) administers the regulated mortgage contract itself, provided that the period of administration is no more than one month after the arrangement in (1) has come to an end.
PERG 4.8.5GRP
This exclusion may be of a particular interest to a special purpose vehicle which administers regulated mortgage contracts transferred to it as part of a securitisation transaction.
SUP 16.11.1RRP
This section2 applies to a firm which is a mortgage lender; or in respect of sales to a private customer or a retail customer:(1) an insurer; or(2) the operator ofa regulated collective investment scheme, or an investment trust savings scheme ; or (3) a person who issues or manages the relevant assets of the issuer of a structured capital-at-risk product,unless the firm is a managing agent.
SUP 16.11.2GRP
(1) The purpose of this section2 is to set out the requirements for firms in the retail mortgage, investment, and pure protection contract markets specified in SUP 16.11.1 R to report individual product sales data to the FSA. This requirement applies whether the regulated activity has been carried out by the firm, or through an intermediary which has dealt directly with the firm.2(2) The purpose of collecting this data is to assist the FSA in the ongoing supervision of firms engaged
SUP 16.11.3RRP
(1) A firm must submit a report (the 'data report') containing the information required by SUP 16.11.5 R quarterly, within 20 business days of the end of the quarter, unless (3) applies.(2) The reporting periods are the four calendar quarters of each year beginning on 1 January.(3) A firm need not submit a data report if no relevant sales have occurred in the quarter.
SUP 16.11.5RRP
The data report must contain sales data in respect of the following products:(1) retail investments;(2) pure protection contracts; and(3) regulated mortgage contracts (but not further advances).
MCOB 12.3.1RRP
A firm must ensure that any regulated mortgage contract that it enters into does not impose, and cannot be used to impose, an early repayment charge other than one that is:(1) able to be expressed as a cash value; and(2) a reasonable pre-estimate of the costs as a result of the customer repaying the amount due under the regulated mortgage contract before the contract has terminated.
MCOB 12.3.3GRP
A firm may calculate the same level of early repayment charge for all regulated mortgage contracts of a similar type (for example a tranche of regulated mortgage contracts offering a particular fixed rate of interest), rather than on the basis of the individual regulated mortgage contract with the particular customer.
MCOB 12.3.4RRP
Before: (1) entering into a regulated mortgage contract with a customer; or(2) making a further advance on an existing regulated mortgage contract; or (3) changing all or part of a regulated mortgage contract from one interest rate to another;1a firm must disclose to the customer:(a) in the illustration provided in accordance with MCOB 5, MCOB 7.6.7 R, MCOB 7.6.18 R, MCOB 7.6.22 R, MCOB 7.6.31 R, or MCOB 9; and(b) in the illustration provided as part of the offer document in accordance
MCOB 9.1.1RRP
This chapter applies to a firm in a category listed in column (1) of the table in MCOB 9.1.2 R in accordance with column (2) of that table.
MCOB 9.1.3RRP
This chapter applies in the circumstances set out in other rules in MCOB, but in relation to a regulated lifetime mortgage contract, in accordance with the table in MCOB 9.1.4 R.
MCOB 9.1.5RRP
In this chapter, references to a regulated lifetime mortgage contract include, where the context requires, references to arrangements which are capable of becoming a regulated lifetime mortgage contract.
MCOB 12.4.2GRP
A firm may calculate the same level of arrears charges for all regulated mortgage contracts where the customer is in arrears, rather than on the basis of the individual regulated mortgage contract with the particular customer.
MCOB 2.4.1GRP
The purpose of MCOB 2.4 is to remind firms of the relevance of the high level standards in PRIN, especially with regard to the use of sales methods that may lead a customer to feel pressurised to enter into, or vary, a regulated mortgage contract.
MCOB 2.4.2GRP
Principle 6 (Customers' interests) requires that a firm must pay due regard to the interests of its customers and treat them fairly. This means, for example, that a firm should avoid selling practices that commit customers (or lead customers to believe that they are committed) to any regulated mortgage contract before they have been able to consider the illustration and offer document. One such practice might be to present a new customer with an illustration, offer document and
MCOB 2.4.3GRP
Principle 7 (Communications with clients) requires that a firm must pay due regard to the information needs of its clients, and communicate information to them in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading. This means, for example, that a firm should avoid giving any customer a false impression about the availability of a regulated mortgage contract, such as describing it as a 'special offer' not available after a certain date unless this is really the case.
MCOB 13.1.4RRP
The requirements in MCOB 13 will continue to apply to a firm after a regulated mortgage contract has come to an end following the sale of a repossessed property. References in this chapter to "customer" will include references to a former customer as appropriate.
MCOB 13.1.6GRP
A firm may have entered into a mix of regulated mortgage contracts and non-regulated mortgage contracts with a customer secured on the same property. In such circumstances, if the regulated mortgage contract is in arrears, notwithstanding that the overall position in respect of the mortgages generally is not in arrears, the firm will need to comply with all the requirements of MCOB 13 in respect to the regulated mortgage contract. Where this involves providing the customer with
MCOB 13.1.7GRP
If a firm has entered into more than one regulated mortgage contract with the same customer secured onthe same property, the firm may treat all of the regulated mortgage contracts as one for the purposes of MCOB 13.
PERG 4.17.1GRP
Article 90 of the Regulated Activities Order essentially carves out regulated mortgage contracts from regulation under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA). Many loans that fall within the regulated mortgage contract definition are already exempt from much of the detail required under the CCA.
PERG 4.17.2GRP
Some loans that will fall within the regulated mortgage contract definition are also currently classified as regulated agreements under the CCA. In these cases, the impact of the carve-out in article 90 of the Regulated Activities Order is likely to be more significant. In particular, most of the CCA controls in respect of entering into, operation and termination of agreements will not apply. Article 90 also, however, provides that section 126 of the CCA (Enforcement of land mortgages)
PERG 4.17.15GRP
Articles 90 and 91 of the Regulated Activities Order include provisions that have the effect of removing from CCA regulation financial promotions about qualifying credit. Such promotions will not therefore be subject to Part IV of the CCA or regulations made under that Part.
MCOB 7.1.4RRP
This chapter applies in relation to further advances and other variations (as specified in MCOB 7.6.7 R - MCOB 7.7.4 R) regardless of whether they are variations to an existing regulated mortgage contract or are such that they involve the customer entering into a new regulated mortgage contract.
MCOB 7.1.5RRP
This chapter also applies in relation to regulated mortgage contracts in circumstances where the original mortgage lender has passed on ownership of the loan to a third party through securitisation. In such a case, the rules in MCOB 7.5 - MCOB 7.7.4 R will apply to the firm which administers the regulated mortgage contract.
MCOB 7.1.8RRP
In relation to a regulated lifetime mortgage contract, this chapter MCOB 7 is modified by MCOB 9 (Lifetime mortgages: product disclosure).1
MCOB 8.1.4RRP
(1) MCOB 4.4 (Initial disclosure requirements) (as modified by MCOB 8) applies only in relation to varying the terms of a regulated lifetime mortgage contract entered into by the customer in any of the following ways:(a) adding or removing a party;(b) taking out a further advance; or(c) switching all or part of the regulated lifetime mortgage contract from one interest rate to another.1(2) Otherwise, this chapter, MCOB 8, applies in relation to any form of variation of a regulated
MCOB 13.6.3RRP
A firm must ensure that, as soon as possible after the sale of a repossessed property, if the proceeds of sale are less than the amount of the customer's debt, the customer is informed in a durable medium of:(1) the mortgage shortfall debt; and(2) where relevant, the fact that the mortgage shortfall debt may be pursued by another company (for example, a mortgage indemnity insurer).

MCOB 6.5.1RRP

MCOB 6.5.2RRP

MCOB 7.4.1RRP
(Subject to MCOB 7.7.5 R) a firm that enters into a regulated mortgage contract with a customer must provide the customer with the following information before the customer makes the first payment under that regulated mortgage contract:1(1) the amount of the first payment required;(2) the amount of the subsequent payment(s) if different from the first payment;(3) the method by which the payment will be collected (for example, by direct debit) and the date of collection of the
MCOB 7.4.3GRP
In the case of a regulated mortgage contract under which the loan is advanced to the customer in separate tranches, the amount required under MCOB 7.4.1 R(1) will be the repayment relating to the first tranche.

MCOB 7.4.4RRP

MCOB 6.1.4RRP

MCOB 12.5.2RRP
A firm must ensure that its charges to a customer in connection with the firmentering into or making a further advance on a regulated mortgage contract or administering a regulated mortgage contract or arranging or advising on a regulated mortgage contract or a variation to the terms of a regulated mortgage contract are not excessive.
MCOB 6.7.1RRP
(1) Where the regulated mortgage contract is for a business purpose, a firm may choose to provide a customer with a business offer document instead of the offer document referred to in MCOB 6.4.1 R.(2) If a firm provides a customer with a business offer document in accordance with (1), it must ensure that:(a) an updated business illustration, as required by MCOB 5.7 (Pre-application disclosure for business loans), forms part of the business offer document; and(b) subject to the
MCOB 6.7.3GRP
A firm may supplement the first paragraph of text prescribed in MCOB 6.4.4 R (5)(a) to clarify that, while the regulated mortgage contract is not binding until the relevant mortgage document has been signed and funds have been released, the business offer document may form part of a wider set of negotiated facilities and that the customer is separately bound by these.

MCOB 4.5.3GRP
(1) The information in MCOB 4 Annex 3 will be provided in 'good time' for the purposes of MCOB 4.5.2 R (1), if provided in sufficient time to enable the customer to consider properly the services on offer.(2) An example of the circumstances in which MCOB 4.5.2 R (4) or (5) may apply is given in MCOB 4.4.4 G. If the initial disclosure document and accompanying information (including that in MCOB 4 Annex 3) was previously provided to a customer and continues to be appropriate, there
