MCOB 1.6.1GRP
MCOB applies to regulated mortgage contracts entered into on or after 31 October 2004. A contract that was entered into before 31 October 2004, and that is subsequently varied on or after that date, will not be a regulated mortgage contract but may be a regulated credit agreement to which the CCA and CONC apply. If, however, a new contract is entered into on or after 31 October 2004, replacing the previous contract, this may be a regulated mortgage contract.4PERG 4.4.13G2 contains

It could arise, for example, if a firm has acted on the understanding,
