  • Trapped Borrowers and UK Asset Resolution
    HM Treasury, 1 Horse Guards Road, London, SW1 A 2HQ Nicky Morgan MP Chair of the Treasury Select Committee House of Commons London SW1A OAA 1zu, November 2018 Trapped Borrowers and UK Asset Resolution During my testimony on 30 October, I promised to write to the Committee to set out the Government's position on "mortgage prisoners", and Tom Scholar committed during his testimony on 24 October to write on the same issue and customer treatment in the context of UK Asset Resolution (UKAR) sales. This letter sets out the Government's position on these issues and covers the issues the Committee raised both with me and with Tom Scholar and Charles Roxburgh. Trapped Borrowers I agree wholeheartedly that borrowers who find themselves unable to access cheaper mortgage deals are in a difficult and stressful situation. While it is right and sensible that regulation since the financial crisis has put an end to the poor lending practices of the past, better deals should not be beyond the reach of customers who are continuing to pay their mortgage. That is why, as part of the reforms to mortgage lending introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) 'Mortgage Market Review' (MMR) in April 2014, lenders were able to waive affordability requirements for new and existing customers that were remortgaging but not increasing the size of their debt. These exemptions were put in place to help existing borrowers who had taken out large mortgages and may have found it more difficult to remortgage under the new rules. Unfortunately, the European Union's (EU) Mortgage Credit Directive (MCD), which came into force in March 2016, formally prevents lenders from waiving the affordability requirements when a borrower moves to a new lender.

  • 1 an Evolutionary Perspective on the British Banking Crisis Abstract
    An Evolutionary Perspective on the British Banking Crisis Abstract Developing an evolutionary perspective towards the changing anatomy of the banking sector reveals the enduring tensions and contradictions between spatial centralisation and the possibilities for decentralisation before, during and after the British banking crisis. The shift from banking boom to crisis in 2007 is conceptualised as a significant and on-going moment in the long-term evolution of the historical institutional-spatial dominance of London over other city-regions in Britain. The analysis demonstrates the importance of the institutional and geographical legacies of the British national political economy and variegation of capitalism established in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in shaping contemporary geographical outcomes. Regulatory changes combined with financial innovation in the latter years of the twentieth century to create an opportunity for English regional and Scottish banks excluded from previous institutional-spatial centralisation to expand excessively and consequently several failed in the banking crisis. The paper considers the future trajectory of institutional-spatial centralisation in the banking sector amidst the continued spatial restructuring of the banking crisis, involving a re-drawing of organisational boundaries, overlapping institutional and technological changes and unprecedented uncertainty about the impact of Brexit on Britain’s wider political and economic landscape.

  • U.K. Asset Resolution Limited (UKAR)
    PRELIMINARY YPFS DISCUSSION DRAFT| MARCH 2020 U.K. Asset Resolution Limited (UKAR) Aidan Lawson1 August 23, 2019 Abstract As the Global Financial Crisis began to unfold, the UK saw two of its largest mortgage lenders in Bradford & Bingley (B&B) and Northern Rock, begin to weaken dramatically under the pressure that housing and financial markets were facing. Northern Rock and B&B both faced severe funding problems due to a worsening global credit crunch and both would be nationalized in 2008 (NRAM; B&B). Despite this effort, the crisis continued to worsen globally, and, amongst other programs that the UK government instituted, it created UK Asset Resolution Limited (UKAR) on October 1, 2010 (UKAR Overview). This organization’s goal was to wind down and maximize the return on the £115.8 billion in closed mortgage books that the government still had from B&B and what was now Northern Rock Asset Management (2019 Annual Report - pp. 11). In order to adequately manage UKAR’s massive portfolio of residential and commercial loans, mortgage-backed securities, and derivative instruments, HM Treasury and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) provided £48.7 billion in funding to the company (2011 Annual Report - pp. 16). Through a mix of large, competitive sales, buy-backs, and loan redemptions, UKAR consistently has been able to reduce its balance sheet and turn a profit every year since its inception (2018 Annual Report - pp. 14, 21). As of June 2019, the company has made approximately £8.1 billion in profit and has only £11.4 billion in assets remaining on its balance sheet (2019 Annual Report - pp.
