MCOB 13.1.6GRP

A firm may have entered into a mix of regulated mortgage contracts and non-regulated mortgage contracts with a customer secured on the same property. In such circumstances, if the regulated mortgage contract is in arrears, notwithstanding that the overall position in respect of the mortgages generally is not in arrears, the firm will need to comply with all the requirements of MCOB 13 in respect to the regulated mortgage contract. Where this involves providing the customer with information, a firm should explain, if it is the case, that whilst the overall position on the mortgages is not in arrears, no action will be taken in respect of the regulated mortgage contract.

MCOB 13.1.7GRP

If a firm has entered into more than one regulated mortgage contract or home purchase plan 1with the same customer relating to1the same property, the firm may treat them1 all as one for the purposes of this chapter1.
