As we all by now know the recession is completely over and this time it is not just one of the many rumours that have circulated over the past few years regarding this, but comes from official sources.

The credit crisis was of course precipitated by the reckless underwriting of financial lending intstutions including commercial lenders in addition to banks and building societies.

Many people were granted remortgages, mortgages and secured loans, which are also known as homeowner loans, who really were not in the financial situation to pay the home loans back.

They were granted on the basis of a self certification of income whereby the borrower simply declares their own earnings without any additional proof required by the lender.

Many senior officials at the lending institutions were often aware of the lack of sufficient earnings by the borrowers but they simply turned a blind eye, being more interested in their own fat cat bonuses than in the financial welfare of their customers or even their own employers

Commercial lending was the same with millions of pounds in business loans going to property developers, many of whom in the past would have been thought untrustworthy and would never have been granted a small loan never mind one of many millions.

After the start of the recession underwriting for business loans, secured loans, mortgages and remortgages tightened up to the almost opposite extreme so that many who would have been eligible for these loans no longer were while others were too afraid of the economy of the country in general and their personal economy in particular to avail themselves of these business and home loans.

Mortgage lending declined and many new housing estates remained with the majority of their properties unsold.

Many people were too unsure about their job security to consider either buying their first home or taking out a mortgage to move to another property.

Secured loans fell to under 80% of their high popularity level up to the end of 2006, and many homeowner loan lenders as well as brokers went out of business.

Remortgages which were once a very popular method for homeowners to move from their current mortgage provider to another to either obtain a better rate of interest or to raise additional funds fell dramatically to a shadow of their former self.

This was again partly because of a lack of confidence in the future and partly due to a fall in the value of properties as low remortgage rates depend on the equity available on a property.

Now that the recession is well and truly over it is to be wondered what the future holds for remortgages, secured loans and mortgages, and if their underwriting will return to the pre recession position or not.
