The Need for CeMAP
The Financial
Services Authority regulated the Mortgage Market in October 2004. This
meant that many mortgage advisors who were giving advice prior to October
2004 were no longer qualified to do so. The number of people that are
currently qualified to give advice is a quarter of the actual demand.

organisations is over 1000 mortgage advisors in the City of London and

met.
