Council of Mortgage Lenders
The CML represents around 98% of the UK residential mortgage lending industry. Our members are helping over 11.5 million households to buy their homes. 70% of UK households are now home-owners.
Our aim is to help to foster a favourable operating environment in the UK housing and mortgage markets. We are the representative voice for the residential mortgage lending industry, and the central provider of economic, statistical, legal, research and other market information.
Our members are banks, building societies and other mortgage lenders. We also have associates, drawn from a variety of related businesses, including lawyers, conveyancers, search companies and management consultants.
For more information on our work visit our website at http://www.cml.org.uk/, or contact our Public Affairs Manager Michelle Vosper.
We have produced a practical guide to assist MPs and their staff when dealing with enquiries from constituents who are having difficulty in meeting their mortgage payments.
The leaflet covers the key messages that borrowers should be aware of at each stage of the arrears and possessions process, and gives details of the organisations that may be able to provide advice and assistance in different circumstances.
