Company Information

  • Regulation
    • Albani Limited is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Reference No. 457682. See: FCA Register.
      • Mortgages & home finance:
        • arranging (bringing about) regulated mortgage contracts.
        • making arrangements with a view to regulated mortgage contracts. 
    • CHAIN FREE® and CHAIN MENDER® are not regulated mortgage contracts. See: FCA PERG 4.4
      • Regulated loans are those on a property you are living in or are going to live in.
      • When you take our finance (CHAIN FREE® Fall Back Price® and CHAIN MENDER® Provisional Price™) you must contemporaneously give us vacant possession and pay off any outstanding mortgages (which you can do with our finance).
    • IMPORTANT POINT: Albani Limited is not a mortgage lender and does not lend money.
      • A mortgage is an agreement between you and a lender that gives the lender the right to take your property if you fail to repay the money you’ve been lent plus interest:
        • our finance is open-bridge (no fixed repayment date which obliges you to re-pay by a specific date).
        • non-recourse (non-recourse means you have no legal obligation to repay us).
        • interest-free.
      • We do not lend you money because you do not have to pay us back:
        • we can only recover our finance from the sale of your house (you have given us vacant possession).
        • the Drawdown Documents include a Sale Contract (our Legal Department will add the buyers name) and Transfer for you to sign so if you take our finance we can sell your house to recoup our finance.
      • Although our finance is interest-free the Consumer Rights Act (CRA) requires us show the Annual Percentage Rate (APR):
        • even though our legal documents say you do not have to repay our finance the CRA requires us to say that “your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a Loan or on any other debt secured on it.”
    • VAL FREE® are regulated mortgage contracts.
      • Provided by selected mortgage lenders for the buyers of our RICS surveyor-valued houses.
