FCA changes mortgage advice rules to encourage consumer choice
Regulatory Updates | 07/05/19
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published (7 May) proposals for changes to its mortgage sales requirements which will help to give consumers more choice in how they buy a mortgage. The proposals are one part of a package of remedies from the Mortgages Market Study, published earlier this year, which aims to encourage innovation and make it easier for customers to find the right mortgage. The FCA identified a number of ways its advice rules are acting as a barrier to the development of new tools to help customers choose and buy a mortgage and the consultation today is designed to address the problems identified.
