English translation:regularly hearing about
Explanation:
We've been regularly hearing about such and such for four years now.

That's one way of saying it. If "информация" means "news" here, you might say, as an alternative: "We've been seeing news items about such and such for four years now."

we are being regularly/consistently informed that


Explanation:
We are being consistently informed that some smaller, often unheard of, local 'mortgage lenders' are operating 'self certified' mortgages, loaning ridiculous amounts of money, well beyond the average 3.5 times annual household incomes.

agree  Lena Grainger: I would say "we keep hearing" - "keep on" is about something that you actively do, e.g. "you keep on saying the same thing"...

we've been getting word


Explanation:
Мне кажется, что "регулярно" в явном виде включать в данный перевод необязательно, сама конструкция уже указывает на повторяющееся событие, но при необходимости можно добавить "regularly" или "on a regular basis". А "getting word" как раз несет в себе смысл оригинала.

it is during four last years that that we have been regularly informed on smth


Explanation:
hae been regularly informed - Passive Voice кажется целесообразным, так как источники информации не указаны/не важны, таким образом на первое место выдвигается значимость самой компании
употребление эмфатической конструкции можно объяснить наличием слов "вот " и "уже" в оригинале. Хотя контекста не достаточно, чтобы оценить, насколько важен указанный срок в 4 года
