Reasons for Mortgage Mis-selling Claims

There are a host of possible reasons you could have a claim for being mis-sold your interest-only mortgage. Some are listed below, but there could be other reasons not mentioned. Without legal expertise, it’s virtually impossible to know if you have a valid claim. You could have been mis-sold because:

• You might have been given poor, or even risky and damaging advice, which resulted in you having an unaffordable or inappropriate mortgage
• The broker or lender was negligent when they set the mortgage up
• You might have been provided with incorrect information upon which you made your decision to proceed with the mortgage
• The broker did not explain their commission adequately or because they got a higher commission for suggesting your mortgage compared with a better value one
• You used the mortgage partly to consolidate other debts or loans
• You have since found the mortgage unaffordable and even missed some repayments
• You have no plan in place to repay the mortgage off at the end of the term

To determine whether you can make a claim for a mis-sold mortgage, only a solicitor specialising in mis-selling financial products can give you the advice you need.

Things to Remember

You may think that you don’t have a claim, or that your mis-selling claim might have expired, but it’s always best to check to ensure you’re not missing out on compensation. For instance, you might still have a claim if you:

• No longer have the mortgage
• Have sold the home and you are living elsewhere
• Had the mortgage jointly with someone else you’re no longer living with.

Whatever your current circumstances, you may still have a mis-sold mortgage claim.
