Buy to Let Mortgage product choice obliterated

The concept that that there are significantly fewer repossessions from buy to lets compared to residential mortgages needs to be examined again as I suspect that it is no longer the case.

The buy to let product choice has been obliterated as nearly 90% of the buy to let products have been stripped out of the UK market. The residential market has also been hit hard losing 60% of its products in a 24-hour period.It appears that lenders have little to non-existent appetite to lend and it will take a while for stability in the market to return.

CARE HOME OWNERS - CLAIM BACK YOUR VAT!

The current law does not allow care home owners to register for and reclaim VAT however this was not always the case.There has been a change in the law which now prevents residential care homes from treating their supplies as standard rated for VAT purposes since 2002, there is a possibility that they can recover input tax suffered up to that point.

In a test case which was won on appeal, residential care home Kingscrest successfully argued that because it was a partnership it was not covered by the exemption for healthcare under UK legislation and as a result its services must be standard rated.

Since its clients were Local Authorities who could reclaim the VAT on fees, Kingscrest could pass on the VAT chargeable to the relevant Local Authority and recover the input tax on its running costs.

As a result of the case, new legislation was brought into effect on 21 March 2002 making it clear that the provision of care in a residential home was exempt from VAT.

However, there is no reason why the operators of a residential home cannot decide that it was making standard rated supplies up to 21 March 2002 and benefit from a reduction in their overheads up to the time the law was amended.

Care homes which are interested in pursuing this opportunity will need to make a backdated application to register for VAT.

The above means that eligible residential homes can backdate a VAT registration to 1/1/93, account for VAT on their income and reclaim VAT on expenditure, then deregister with effect from 31/12/02. Some of the claims could be substantial and tend to average £50,000.

Please contact me for further information if you wish to claim on a NO WIN= No FEE Basis.

Please take advantage of this before HMRC find a way of stopping these claims.

Payment Protection Insurance Sales Flawed

The Competition Commission published its provisional findings into the sale of PPI in the UK. In its review the Commission has offered its own thoughts on what it calls serious problems within the PPI market. It also focuses on the distribution of PPI and that that the companies who sell these face little or no competition when selling PPI.

It is possible to claim compensation for the mis-sale of a PPI policy. I I am able to assist if you require guidance on a PPI compensation claim.

Have you taken out at least one single premium payment protection insurance insurance policy over last the six years? If so, you may be entitled to thousands of pounds of compensation.

There are over £6 billion worth of payment protection insurance policies out there in the UK and a large portion of them have been mis-sold.

Have you been mis-sold?Do you know that you may have been mis-sold a Payment Protection Insurance Policy and that you may have a valid claim if the company, or its agent, that sold you the policy failed in any one of these areas:

You were not in work or self employed at the time of sale.
You were told that you had to take the PPI out at the same time as the loan or not at all.
You were not asked whether you had any other insurance which would cover the loan.
You were not told you could buy PPI elsewhere to cover the loan.
You were sold a policy which had age restrictions which you fell outside of.
You were led to believe that Payment Protection Insurance was compulsory.
You were told that you would stand more chance of getting the loan if you took the Payment Protection Insurance.
It was not explained to you that there were certain exclusions within the policy that could affect you.
You paid upfront for the PPI but it was not explained that there were some PPI policies where you could pay monthly.
Your PPI was an upfront premium and you repaid the loan early and received no refund.
You increased your loan and the PPI was increased automatically.

If you can answer yes to just one of these questions then contact meimmediately on info@easy4life.com and I will put you in touch with financial consultants who can assist you with your PPI compensation claim on a no win no fee basis.
