In recent days the English capital – as well as other major cities – has been in the news throughout the world, as hordes of rioters smash up the homes and businesses in the area, looting what they can and hiding behind a thinly veiled excuse of social politics. While this has obviously been devastating for all those affected by the mindless actions of these people – as well as for the British economy as a whole – it has been a lucrative event for the lending industry, although even the most cynical of people couldn’t claim that they are glad that the events took place.

This is because the amount of damage caused is often far more than anyone could afford to remedy. With many homes being set alight or ransacked, and businesses being stripped bare of stock and fittings, people need to find a way of getting their life back in order as quickly as possible – which often means that they are having to take out a homeowner loan to cover the costs of this. Although this isn’t the ideal scenario for anyone affected by the riots, it is often the only way to restore normalcy and to get on with their life after these events.

Now you might be wondering why people aren’t simply claiming the money back from their insurance. Well, the answer to this is simply time – we all know how long insurance companies can take to process a claim and get a payment out, meaning that many people don’t want to wait idly while their business loses more money or while their home remains in a vandalized and decrepit state. Many people assume that they will get the insurance payout soon, so they might as well take out a homeowner loan and pay I back when the money from the insurance company comes through.

The other reason for people looking to take out a homeowner loan is the simple fact that they didn’t have insurance in the first place – something that means that homeowners now have to bear the financial brunt of restoring the damage created during this rioting. It has to be remembered that the areas of London affected most by riots – such as Tottenham – are not the most affluent of areas, therefore meaning that many simply couldn’t afford insurance prior to this incident occurring. It is a good bet to assume that more people will be finding the money for it now though, as they will be scared that this will happen again in the future.

With the devastation left behind after the riot and the ongoing police investigations into the causes and the perpetrators, residents of affected areas will be hoping that the end has finally come and that they can get on with rebuilding their lives. Although those in the lending industry certainly won’t be acting in a completely altruistic way when doling out money to those in riot hit areas, they will at least know that they are in some way helping to get Britain back to the condition that it was just a couple of weeks ago. It’s not often that the lending industry is portrayed in a good light, so let’s hope that this is one of those rare occasions whereby lending is seen as a positive thing for the country!
