Mortgages in Scotland
by woody on September 25th, 2007
Luckily for us north of the border, even though the house buying process is completely different from that in England and Wales, the actual mortgage products on offer are for the most part exactly the same. We still have access to the mortgages available from all the big lenders and banks in England. However, it is crucial that we secure the services of an experienced broker of financial advisor in Scotland to guide us through the complicated process of applying for mortgages in Scotland and completing the house purchase.
Towels in banking offices
by zoogie on September 21st, 2007
With winter fast approaching, banking offices are getting ready for old man winter. They’re adding towels, coat racks and other items to their lobbies to gear up for winter traffic that arrives and needs to remove coats, hats and boots and even dry off from wet weather before conducting their business. SOme banks even set up hot chocolate, tea, coffee and hot apple cider stations and offer free beverages. This slows down customer transactions and people don’t mind waiting. They are even opening more accounts while they wait, reading banking brochures about new checking, savings and other accounts that are spread around.
