Calls for homebuyer protection

Michael Coogan, director general of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, is calling for a shake-up of the system for homeowners at risk of losing their homes.

He has suggested the Income Support for Mortgage Interest be revisited. Currently it does not cover the first 9 months of arrears and is capped at £100k, whereas the average mortgage is around £160k.
