April 6, 2010
When you intend to work as a mortgage advisor in Scotland,
CeMAP training courses in Scotland are more difficult to find, but do you really need to find a special CeMAP course for Scotland?
There are certainly differences in the syllabus for Scotland, because the land laws in Scotland differ to those in England and Wales. As a result, the CeMAP exam taken in Scotland is different too. Although the Read more

November 15, 2009
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has, according to Bridging & Commercial, banned a mortgage broker in Birmingham in the West Midlands for giving false information to the FSA.
When applying for official authorisation from the FSA, Mohammed Hanif stated that Zaneb Sarfraz, his daughter-in-law trading under the name of Pak Property Centre had the necessary competence to be an ‘authorised person’. As such, she would be required to help manage and control Pak Property Centre and Mr Hanif confirmed this.
Following investigation, the FSA discovered Mrs Sarfraz did not Read more
Fifth month rise for house prices, what does this mean for mortgages?
October 3, 2009
Figures from the Nationwide’s monthly house price index shows that house prices have risen for the fifth month in a row, making the average house price £160,159 – the same level as it was twelve months ago in 2008.
In the third quarter of 2009, the UK’s house prices rose by 3.7 percent in total. The strongest increase for England was in the South West rising by 4.9 percent, whereas the strongest rise for the UK as a whole was seen in Northern Ireland with 9.7 percent. On an annual basis, compared to last year Scotland came out on top as the strongest performing region of the UK.
This fifth consecutive increase continues the trend for small increases we reported earlier this year and tentatively predicted would continue.

How organised is your training provider?
August 6, 2009
Training courses of any kind need to be organised well if they are to run smoothly, whether the course is for CeRER, CeFA or CeMAP training or of any other kind.
Before you book onto any training course with any training provider you might want to ask a few questions:
- check how often the training materials are updated. For example, the CeMAP syllabus changes twice a year as does the CeFA syllabus, so you need to be sure Read more
CeMAP training in Scotland
June 1, 2009
For those looking for CeMAP training in
Scotland, you’ll find that there are differences in Scotland to the
CeMAP training courses offered in the rest of the UK, in England and Wales. The reason that there are slight changes to the
CeMAP syllabus in Scotland is because of the land law in Scotland.
Scottish property law is slightly different to that in England Wales, which means that the CeMAP exam for mortgage advisers in Scotland differs as well. The process of buying a property in Scotland is different from buying a property in England and Wales. One difference in Scotland for example is that under Scottish property law there is no ‘leasehold’.
Because of the differences to the property law in Scotland, the CeMAP training courses in Scotland are Read more
Where can I take my CeMAP exam?
May 11, 2009
CeMAP training courses are available all over the UK, in cities convenient to most people such as
Leeds,
Liverpool,
Manchester,
Birmingham and
London to name but a few, and if you are looking to study for the CeMAP exam then you can study a training course anywhere, even choosing to study online from home if you wish.
However, every month people question where they can take the actual CeMAP exam because they want to take the exam close to home. People often do not realise that the exam centres used for people taking their driving theory tests are the exact same places used for CeMAP exams and other exams in the financial industry, such as the CeFA or CeRER exams.
The financial industry exams are not taken every day in these centres so when you are ready Read more
Housing market in Scotland remains tight
April 17, 2009
Property sales figures were released earlier this week as we reported yesterday showing signs of life in the housing market once again, which will be good news for mortgage advisors and those on CeMAP training courses at the moment, however, for those in
Scotland, the housing market does not appear to show the same strength of revival quite yet.
The figures from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) showed that the number of homebuyers showing an interest in Scotland continued to rise for the fifth consecutive month like the rest of the country, however, it Read more
