Mortgage Bankers Association calls for repeal of notary law, property-tax increase
(Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:08:07 GMT)

Caribbean Busniess Online - July 2, 2009: Local chapter insists both measures diminish chances of local families to acquire or refinance a home by reducing their purchasing powerThe Puerto Rico Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) has called for the repeal of the notary law and the new property-tax increase on nonexempt properties, urging the government to instead adopt solutions that don't directly affect the pockets of potential and existing homebuyers."If you haven't been involved in a mortgage-related transaction within the past year, you are probably unaware that last August House Bill 4454 became Law 239, which immediately made effective a new 1% fixed-rate fee on all mortgage-related transactions, making it harder for a person to acquire a home or make a residential or commercial transaction," said local MBA President Steven Vélez.The transaction, Vélez added, was approved by the Legislature on the last day of the ordinary session under the cover of night, without the due process of public hearings and with the strong opposition of several private-sector organizations such as the MBA, the Bankers Association and the Home Builders Association.Concerned about the economic impact the new fixed-rate fee would have on consumers' pockets, Vélez said the MBA left no stone unturned in its efforts to speak at all pertinent forums and alert the public. In spite of the MBA's efforts, Law 239 was approved.[Open link for full story in Caribbean Business Online.]
