Self Employed Support Grant

Hi All, hope your all enjoying the sunshine again

If you are eligible for the first grant and have not applied yet, you must do so on or before 13 July 2020. It has been reported that there have already been 2.6 million claims worth more than £7.2 billion.

Mortgage Market Update

Hi All, somewhat frustrating at the minute! Mortgages with a 10% deposit were very available a few weeks ago. Due to high demand , a lot of lenders have now pulled away. It means without a perfect credit score, even a mortgage with a 15% deposit is a real challenge. Things are changing daily so hopefully the situation will improve .

The government has now announced its NHS Test and Trace service, which aims to give advice to people who may have been in contact with someone who then tests positive for coronavirus. But as with any development in this pandemic, appallingly, scammers are using it as another opportunity to steal your personal information, and in turn, your money. We've seen a range of Trading Standards offices warning about these scams - which can come to you via phone, text or email.

The NHS says that official Test and Trace texts will come from the NHS and calls will come from 0300 0135000. Contact tracers will ask for your full name, date of birth and postcode, and will offer you advice if you have come into contact with somebody who has coronavirus symptoms. They will not:

ask for bank details or payments
ask for details of any other accounts, such as social media
ask you to set up a password or PIN number over the phone
ask you to call a premium rate number, such as those starting 09 or 087
ask you to download anything or access a non-NHS or government site
