The arrears charges and excessive charges requirements in this chapter1 will continue to apply to a firm after a regulated mortgage contract has come to an end following the sale of a repossessed property. The excessive charges requirements will continue to apply to a firm after a home reversion plan has ended.1 References in this chapter to 'customer' will include references to a former customer as appropriate. 1
A firm is unlikely, for example, to be treating a reversion occupier fairly if:(1) the reversion occupier is obliged to maintain the property to a standard which exceeds the standard that the property is in when the home reversion plan commences;(2) the reversion occupier is not entitled to, or is not given, reasonable notice of an inspection, or the inspection is conducted in a way that is biased against him;(3) unreasonable restrictions are imposed on who may occupy the property,
(1) A mortgage lender or reversion provider2 must quantify, in cash terms, any material inducement it offers to a mortgage intermediary, reversion intermediary or a third party. 2(2) In quantifying the value of the material inducement, the firm must include any subsequent payments (such as a trail fee) made where the customer continues with the samehome finance transaction.22
(1) Quantification of any material inducement offered by the mortgage lender or reversion provider2 supports the disclosure requirements elsewhere in MCOB. Further guidance on the disclosure of any inducement in cash terms is provided in MCOB 5.6.118 G for regulated mortgage contracts other than lifetime mortgages, MCOB 9.4.124 G for lifetime mortgages and MCOB 9.4.173 G for home reversion plans.2(2) A payment made to a third party unconnected with thehome finance intermediary,2
The illustration provided as part of the offer document in accordance with MCOB 6.4.1 R(1) must meet the requirements of MCOB 9.4, with the following modifications:(1) the illustration must be suitably adapted and revised to reflect the fact that the firm is making an offer to a customer and updated to reflect changes to, for example, for a lifetime mortgage3 the interest rate, charges, the exchange rate or the APR required by MCOB 10 (Annual Percentage Rate) at the date the illustration
A firm must ensure that its charges to a customer in connection with the firmentering into, making a further advance or further release on, administering, arranging or advising on a regulated mortgage contract or home reversion plan, or arranging or advising on a variation to the terms of a regulated mortgage contract or home reversion plan are not excessive.11
(1) Principle 6 requires a firm to pay due regard to the interests of its customers and treat them fairly. A firm is also under an obligation, as a consequence of this sourcebook's disclosure requirements,1 to make charges transparent to customers. This chapter reinforces these requirements by preventing a firm from imposing unfair and excessive charges.1(2) The level of charges under a regulated mortgage contract or home reversion plan1 is not typically a matter for regulation.
