Bloo Loo Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Not had the pleasure of seeing that advert. yeah, they all do 0%....you get hammered with 35% if you go 1 day over the 12 month free period. Its not for the house purchase though, its for the agents bit.....basically, hes offering through a finance company to spread the debt...the agent will be paying for this I imagine, maybe Caan expects to have the deal secured on your house too.

lets get it right Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 yeah, they all do 0%....you get hammered with 35% if you go 1 day over the 12 month free period.

Agents get paid £500 for every deal they introduce! It was introduced last September. I guess the idea is to get more agents using Look4AProperty. Press Release Has it worked? Can't see it myself. They had the daft idea of limiting it to one agent per town. Buying your first place has always been a struggle. And, if you could, you'd wrap up stamp duty and other fees into your mortgage, so they's only be costing you a few quid a month. The bright idea is to make sure you have to pay a few hundred quid a month for a year or two, instead of £20 for £25 years. I can't see it catching on myself.

Ok, so wheres the beef for the finance company? or does actually making a profit not figure in finance today? or is it a government scheme?
