Mis-Sold Mortgages

Introduction

A mis-sold mortgage occurs when incorrect or inadequate advice was given at the time of the mortgage agreement, leading to financial loss or difficulty. This could involve undisclosed fees, unsuitable repayment terms, or high-risk mortgage types that were not properly explained.

Do I Have a Claim?

You may have been mis-sold a mortgage if:

  • You were not informed about commission fees paid to brokers.
  • The risks of an interest-only mortgage were not clearly explained.
  • Your mortgage term extends beyond retirement age without proper assessment of your ability to repay.
  • You were encouraged to self-certify your income without proper verification.
  • You were sold an unsuitable mortgage product without considering your circumstances.

Required Paperwork

Gather the following documents to assess your claim:

  • Your original mortgage agreement and terms.
  • Mortgage offer documents from the lender.
  • Correspondence with your mortgage advisor or broker.
  • Financial suitability assessments (if provided).
  • Evidence of fees, commissions, or undisclosed charges.
  • Bank statements showing payments and interest charges.

If you believe you were mis-sold a mortgage, consider seeking legal or financial advice to assess your next steps.
