If you are thinking of changing your career, take a CeMAP qualification - there’s never been a better time to become a mortgage advisor.
A new career with CeMAP
Everyday a new headline hits the press about mortgages and property prices. Property is hot business as endless TV shows like Location, Location, Location prove. Never before has the need for mortgage advisors been greater – which is why investing in a CeMAP qualification could be the perfect career choice.
What is CeMAP?
CeMAP is short for the Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice, awarded by the Institute of Financial Services. A CeMAP qualification is recognised by the Financial Services Authority and means you are recognised as a practising mortgage advisor. There are three modules in the CeMAP that you must pass:
· CeMAP: UK Financial
Regulation
· CeMAP: Mortgages
· CeMAP: Assessment of Mortgage Advice Knowledge.
CeMAP qualification
Achieving a CeMAP qualification is relatively quick and easy through examinations, which you can even re-sit if you fail a specific unit.
Why do a CeMAP?
More and more people are desperate for mortgage advice from qualified CeMAP advisors. The financial strain of buying a home is greater than ever before, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders. Now, some lenders are lending as much as five times a person’s salary to cope with the rapidly rising property market.
Housing boom
The Centre for Economic and Business Research predict that the housing boom will continue, slowing down in 2008 and 2009, before accelerating again in 2010. The average house prices are now rising to £1,000 a month. It is predicted the average house price will be £225,000 by 2010 – it’s currently £187,000.
Demand for CeMAP advisors
Mortgages and mortgage advice is a booming industry and the demand for CeMAP qualified advisors is set to increase. Mortgages often baffle and confuse people, and yet investing in a house is the biggest purchase most of us will ever make. CeMAP advisors can help.
The BBC reported that life is getting tougher for first time buyers who are taking greater financial risks than ever to get on the property ladder. A survey by Yorkshire Bank suggested that six out of ten first time buyers would take greater financial risks by borrowing in excess of five times their salary.
