17/08/2022 - Saffron: Transparent Service Levels
Being totally transparent about Saffrons service levels.
Youll will no doubt be aware that things are taking longer than usual across the mortgage industry right now. At Saffron, both their processing and underwriting SLAs have increased significantly in the last week. This is a cause of regret to them, and they know it is causing you and your clients some concern, so Saffron wanted to get in touch to be totally transparent about the reasons behind this.
What is causing the delays?
- Increased Demand: All lenders are busy, but Saffrons specialist ranges have been particularly popular since they have been revamped to offer better value and more flexibility.
- Personal Underwriting: Using skilled and experienced underwriters is their most valuable asset. Buy because they are dealing with more complex cases, this naturally takes them more time to get right.
- COVID: The problems caused by the pandemic are still with Saffron, and some key members of their teams have been unwell recently. This has created more pressure on the remaining resources.
- Summer Holidays: Although carefully planned in advance, colleague holidays have compounded the issues above.
- They recently paused most new business so they can focus on your existing cases
- They have closed one of their branches early every day to move colleagues into the processing team.
- Their underwriters and processing teams are working record hours to work through cases at pace, including evenings and weekends.
- They are trying to reach brokers quickly by phone when they just need a simple answer.
- They have a dedicated team looking at ways to further reduced friction in their processes, so they can help avoid similar delays when they reopen for new business.

Hampshire Trust Bank are writing to advise you of an increase in their lending rates for their Buy to Let and Semi Commercial products effective from Monday, 15 August.
After edging up by a quarter point at a time, it has now been announced that the Bank of England base rate has risen to 1.75, a jump of 0.50 per cent, the highest single increase in 27 years.
Inflation headlines have become the norm, with the current inflation rate sitting at a 40 year high of 9.4 per cent, with a suggestion it will hit above 13 per cent by October. And, of course, the mortgage market will reflect this squeeze.
As you know, HTB always wants to work with you to support you and your clients, but to do this they need a sustainable commercial model. That has led to their decision to increase their 2 and 5 year fixed rates by 0.50 per cent for both Buy to Let and Semi Commercial products. Again, as they have communicated to you in the past, their rates could well increase further but they will take a cautious approach as and when they need to, to ensure you have clarity.
As part of their commitment to you, they will always endeavour to give you as much notice of any rate increase to help you manage your business. They know your clients have more complex mortgage requirements, and with interest rates rising, it is now more important than ever to work with a lender that can offer speed and efficiency whilst facing such turbulence in the market,
To enable you to manage your application pipeline and indeed your clients expectations, they will accept any DIPs on current rates up until the closing of business, Friday 12 August, with their new rates coming into effect by Monday, 15 August. They will honour DIP up to, and including Friday 9 September, subject to the valuation having been instructed and you have uploaded all the requested documents, please remember to click SUBMIT.
So, from Monday, 15 August, their rates will increase and an updated rate card will be available on the website and in PUMA.

Most Lenders have made operational or product changes designed to maintain service levels, for the benefit of their Brokers and Consumers, given service has always been a key differentiator for the specialist market. It is their belief most Brokers and Lenders should be applauded for working together to protect Consumers experience despite this period of flux, and for taking the necessary steps to protect the traditionally high service standards in the market in general. Despite business levels maintaining at an all time high UTB are proud to confirm that their Underwriting and Sales team are currently operating at the following Service Levels:
- New submissions, all product sets, 90 per cent within 24hrs
- Outstanding post, 90 per cent within 24hrs
- New Enquiries, 90 per cent within 24hrs

19/07/2022 - Dudley BS: SVR Rate Increase
In June, Dudley communicated that the Society Standard Variable Rate SVR would increase by 0.50. However, following the further Bank Base Rate change from 1.00 to 1.25 on the 16th of June, their SVR increased by 0.75 from the 1st of July 2022.
Their SVR rate for residential mortgages increased to 5.74, and their buy to let, holiday let and self build SVR rate increased to 6.24.
Keeping you informed of any rate changes prior to completion is important to Dudley. So, Dudley has outlined how their clients are affected, depending on the mortgage product type applied.
Fixed rate application
If you have applied for a fixed rate product, this SVR change will not affect the initial monthly payment figure. However, once the fixed term period finishes the reversion rate will be 0.75 higher than when you originally applied.
Variable rate applications
If you have applied for a variable rate product, this SVR change will affect the initial monthly payment figures, and the rate will increase by 0.75.
Discounted rate applications
If you have applied for a discounted rate product, this SVR change will affect the initial monthly figures, and the rate will increase by 0.75. If the product discount is set for a period of time, e.g a two year discount, the reversion rate will also increase by 0.75 after the discounted period finishes.
What happens next?
- If your application is at an offer stage when the rate change is completed, a new offer will be produced and sent out to all parties. Affordability may need to be reassessed depending on the rate type that has been applied for.
- If your application is at pre offer stage when the rate change is completed, the application will be assessed under the new rates that are applicable.

Bluestone Mortgages can now consider lending over 4.5x income across their full product range, as they seek to further support underserved customers with their home ownership dreams.
This new affordability model is exclusive to their Sapphire Club members, including Impact Packaging, and can enable borrowers who have a 12 month history of current rental or mortgage payments in excess of the proposed monthly mortgage payment to borrow more.
Many potential first time buyers paying regular rent, for example, are not able to secure a mortgage due to inflexible and strict affordability requirements, despite being able to evidence their ability to maintain the rental payments.
At Bluestone, they want to make homeownership accessible to all, which is why they have made these enhancements to their LTI ratios, to support this growing cohort of disenfranchised customers.
Here is a quick summary of the key features:
- Bluestone monthly mortgage payment must be equal to, or less than 90 per cent of the current mortgage, rental payment
- Full 12 month payment history required
- In these cases, an LTI ratio of over 4.5x will be available

accounts. SA302s are not acceptable proof of income on their own but will
be requested where the accounts have been prepared by an accountant who does
not appear on our list of accepted qualifications. We may also request them to
confirm dividends which do not appear in the business accounts.
In addition we have further requirements to confirm mortgage and rental payments for re-mortgage applicants:
For Residential remortgage applications, we will require you to
verify that your customer is not experiencing financial difficulty and is able
to meet their monthly repayment. Please supply a copy of the latest bank
statement evidencing payment of the last months mortgage payment.
For BTL re-mortgage applications, you will need to verify that your
customer has been receiving rental payments from their tenants. Please supply a
copy of their bank statement evidencing receipt of the rental payment for the
last month, in addition to a copy of the AST
Remember, all applications will continue to be manually

15/04/2020 - Hampshire Trust restrict LTV
HTB - Until we have more clarity around the actual performance
of property prices post COVID-19, we are restricting our maximum LTV to 60% for
any loan which relies on a valuation report which contains material
uncertainty. We will continue to review our position as we are able to build up
our base of up-to-date house price data.
Valuation is as much an art as it is a science, but a
key element of any valuation is suitable comparable transactions and the truth
is that we wont have comparable transactions for a number of months in some
cases.
Despite what people are saying, the problem is not how
do we get surveyors to inspect properties during the lock down, this is merely
an inconvenience. The real problem is what number do we put on any valuation in
the months following lock down and how confident will we be to lend against
that number.
------------------------------------------------------------------
14/04/2020 - UTB Change AVM max
UTB - Hometrack Automated Valuation Model
The maximum property value for all UTB Hometrack AVMs has been increased from 500k to 1m. All other LTV and Loan Amount parameters specific to each product set remain the same, as does the minimum confidence level of 5.0.
All pipeline applications are eligible for this increase, and the UTB Hometrack Real-time Template has already been updated for Packager/Distributors.
We are also liaising with our Surveyor panel regarding other alternative methods of establishing security value, aside from a Drive-By or Full Internal Valuation, and will keep you updated in this respect.
------------------------------------------------------------------
14/04/2020 - Family update on Vals
Family have temporarily agreed that they will carry out desktop valuations from today.
For new cases we have agreed that we will instruct valuations as normal and the valuers will then either do a desktop if possible and within the parameters below, or place the instruction on hold until they are able to view the property.
A desktop report is
acceptable only for houses (not flats, maisonettes or barn conversions),
of standard construction and type, which are habitable, wholly for
residential/BTL purposes and where standard insurance conditions will apply.
The parameters where a desktop may be accepted are:
the loan does not exceed 60% of property value, which must not be
estimated at more than 500,000, or
the loan does not exceed 50% of property value, which must not be estimated at more than 750,000, or 1m inside London.
As we are only accepting a desktop report to 60% LTV we are happy to accept this but applicants must satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the property , especially on a purchase..
As the property is not being inspected there will be no
floor area reported and consequently no insurance reinstatement cost, again we
have agreed to accept this.
Whether a desktop valuation can be carried out or not all
cases will be underwritten as fully as possible , to the point where the last
outstanding item is the valuation, and introducers kept informed . Once the
valuers are able to visit property again, they will commence making
appointments.
If applicants or introducers are not prepared to wait for a full valuation we will refund any fee paid and cancel the application so they can submit to an alternative lender if possible.

03/04/2020 - Together Money update
TOGETHER - It is unfortunately become a well used phrase but these are unprecedented times, for everyone, but also within the mortgage industry. In our 45 year history, we have never encountered anything like this. But we remain determined to work together with our colleagues, customers and valued business partners to rise to the challenge in the way that we have to others in the past.
We have been reviewing the current situation and listening fully to Governmental guidance and have been able to safely enable over 700 colleagues to work from home and implement a process to assist our existing customers through these difficult times.
We have had to make some difficult decisions. We recently announced that we would stop accepting new applications for the time being as we reviewed the pipeline and we can now communicate the following.
These changes will now apply across both our Commercial Finance and Personal Finance applications in pipeline:
Cases at Pre offer stage
All cases are on hold until further notice. We will constantly review this and communicate further, either holistically or on specific cases when this changes. Unfortunately, in this market, we are not able to put a timescale on this right now.
Cases at Offer stage
Where we have issued an offer, our underwriters will continue to review cases and will communicate next steps with you as soon as they can.
Purchases
Where a case has already exchanged, we will review the customers affordability to ensure this is still right for them.
Where the case is offered and not exchanged as of 3rd April 2020, we will pause the application for an initial 3 months. We will constantly review our processes in line with market conditions and government advice, but for now, we will not progress these cases.
Remortgage & other products
We will undertake a full review of the customers affordability to ensure it is affordable, still right for them and that they want to proceed.
Where the current property value can be established (and with validated affordability), the case can progress.
Where the property value cannot be confirmed and/or affordability validated, the offer will be suspended and reviewed when appropriate. Again we cannot, in the current circumstances put a timescale on this.
In Commercial Finance where a case is below 50% loan to value and where we can be confident that affordability is both sustainable and plausible we will look to progress these cases. If this is a bridging case we will also need to be confident around the exit.
We are working as fast as we can. We will contact your customers directly and we will keep you updated on your cases as quickly as possible.
If you have any specific questions about offered cases, continue to call us on the number you have always used, and we will do our best to answer them. Please refrain from calling if your case has not offered as the information given above will apply.
Our teams are working incredibly hard helping our brokers and customers; our SLAs have understandably been adversely impacted as we prioritise the existing customer communication so please bear with us.
------------------------------------------------------------------
03/04/2020 - Further product updates
MT FINANCE
MT Finance is dedicated to continuing to support the broker community through this challenging time. Our core principles that have made up the foundations of our business remain unchanged as we continue to provide flexible, transparent, and commercial lending solutions to meet our clients needs.
We are lending at sensible loan to value levels, to enable
each transaction to work where possible, whilst also safeguarding against
further potential market changes. These are set at the following maximum levels
- Up to 65% against residential, for both first and second charges
- Up to 65% against semi-commercial properties, for both first and second charges
- Up to 55% against commercial properties, first charge only
We will ensure that each loan has an appropriate term, which gives clients the best opportunity to complete the transaction and implement their exit strategy.
We are working with all our surveyors and solicitors to
ensure that we can provide the best coverage and service possible. We are
committed to finding solutions to the issues that social distancing can create.
We currently have valuation coverage throughout the UK and Wales and a fully
operational solicitors panel.
Where available and appropriate we can consider existing
valuations from within the last three months alongside an audit from one of our
panel valuers. We remain focused on working creatively to find solutions to the
challenges we all presently face in conducting business.
All of our team have now been working from home for the last 3 weeks, supporting our brokers and each other to get transactions done. We will remain on hand to do so for as long as it takes.

03/04/2020 - April 3rd - lender updates
KENSINGTON
PRICING UPDATES ACROSS RESIDENTIAL AND BUY TO LET LIVE TOMORROW, SATURDAY 4TH APRIL
Please note that we are changing the rates across all of our
products, which are all at 70% LTV, effective from tomorrow, Saturday 4th
April.
CURRENT RATE SUBMISSION DEADLINES
- Decision in Principle Illustration produced by 5pm TODAY, Friday 3rd April
- Full Application submitted by 5pm on Monday 6th April
The market has continued to become more restrictive, with most purchase transactions being delayed and physical property valuations becoming impossible due to COVID-19. As a consequence, we have taken the decision to withdraw our products and suspend all new mortgage applications as part of a temporary pause in origination activities.
We will continue to process applications that have already been
submitted to us, prioritising those applications where the valuation has
already been completed. All other applications will be processed and
underwritten as normal, pending the availability of an acceptable valuation. We
are working on desktop and AVM alternatives to physical valuations and will let
you know if we are able to deliver this solution. All offered loans will
continue to completion as normal.
MASTHAVEN
We are making some temporary changes to our product range and criteria as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
We are open for lending. We believe that at this time it is important, as a Bank, that we support you and your customers with financing options responsibly structured and underwritten. So while we are making changes we are continuing to offer a lending range.
Property valuations
As you will no doubt be aware, there has been significant disruption to property valuation services with some suppliers withdrawing their services completely.
We have been working hard on a solution; however, it does mean that some of our lending will be further restricted as a result:- Where a full valuation is not available we will consider drive-by valuations supported by an AVM max LTV 60%
- Where a drive-by valuation is not available we will use our new AVM Plus service max LTV 50%
Product changes
The following changes are being made to our products on Monday 6th April but we thought you would appreciate a little notice:
Development/Commercial loans- We will not be accepting any new development or commercial loans until further notice. This will enable our team to support existing borrowers with projects already in progress
Bridging loans
- Larger loans our Bridging Plus range will be removed but the maximum loan size will be increased on our Prime and Standard range
- Prime bridging range will be restricted to 70% for first charge, 60% for second charge
- Minimum term will be 12 months early repayment is subject to minimum 1 month interest paid
- Refurbishments will not be available on Prime products
Full details of all these changes will be sent to you along with
our updated product guide on Monday 6th April. Applications
for any accepted DIPs not already submitted will need to be received by
midnight on Sunday 5th April.
We know that there are lots of changes being made across the market but hope you appreciate that making these changes enable us to continue to support you and your customers during this unprecedented time.
------------------------------------------------------------------
01/04/2020 - Shawbrook / Octane / Family
Shawbrook have made a number of product changes to their first charge and short term ranges:
With immediate effect, all products will be capped at 75% LTV.
- All applications over 65% LTV will be subject to additional assessment and may therefore take more time.
- Increased margins on certain products and LTVs. Please refer to the updated product guide.
- If your customer has a Formal Mortgage Offer (FMO), we will honour it, regardless of LTV.
- All other pipeline cases will be assessed based on the new 75% LTV maximum and the additional assessment over 65% LTV.
- Whilst the eAIP service remains live, please note that all cases will be subject to an overriding manual review and should not be considered as supported until such review is completed. An eAIP approval is therefore not an approval until confirmed by a Lending Manager.
- In addition to the max 75% LTV across all products:
- Heavy Refurb; The pandemic has substantially impacted the
construction industry and supply chains. We are unable therefore to consider
lending for this purpose until further notice.
- Developer Exit applications will be assessed on a case by case basis and will assume that the assets will be held for term, rather than sold. Standard BTL term affordability criteria will apply and market rent will therefore be a key consideration. Please discuss with your BDM or Sales Desk prior to submission.
- We recognise that any changes to our Regulated Bridging products may impact the initial advice provided. Please ensure that all new and pipeline cases remain compliant with your advice process and MCOB rules prior to completion.
- We are open for business albeit at reduced LTVs (on most deals this has only been a 5% reduction in LTV). As always, we review each deal on a case-by-case basis and now more than ever our #3rdGen product-less proposition will continue to assess each deal on a risk based approach.
- Our entire team, is 100% operational and working from home, we completed 15 deals last week so we know this is working well.
- Our legal partners are also 100% operational and working from home. We have worked with them to ensure that borrowers can sign without having to meet the solicitor face to face.
- The main stumbling block currently is valuations. While our valuer partners are eager to continue to support us, many are finding it difficult to do so while complying with the current government social distancing guidelines. We are working with our valuer panel to come up with creative ways to solve this.
We are making changes to our semi exclusive products.
Current products will be withdrawn and any applications on these rates must be received by close of business Friday 10th April.
In addition to the new products, the following changes have also been made;
- Cashback offered for residential remortgages where the client is using external solicitors is increasing from B#250 to B#400.
- The fixed rates noted above must complete by 1st October 2020 for this product set
- Minimum loan sizes on residential interest only fixed rates have been removed (previously B#200,000 now B#45,000)
Withdrawn products

31/03/2020 - Product updates today
Foundation - We have seen lenders significantly reduce their product
offering and some have suspended lending completely. Whilst we believe all of
this will be temporary, we must take necessary steps in the short term to allow
us to trade through this unprecedented disruption. We have taken the decision to temporarily suspend all new
applications as from 31 March 2020. This is to allow us to focus on delivering
support, including MPH arrangements, to our 25,000+ borrowers.
UTB - 4 updates are summarised here:
- New Max 75% LTV for all employed applicants
- New Max 65% LTV for all self-employed applicants
- Employed Applicants:
- Guaranteed income, such as Basic earnings and Car Allowances, will be accepted as normal.
- 50% of Commission will be accepted, subject to the standard 18m history and evidence.
- Regular Bonus/Overtime payments will now not be accepted for most employees.
- For Key Workers listed on www.gov.uk regular Bonus/Overtime, including Shift Allowances, will be considered on an individual case basis, subject to the standard 18m history and evidence.
- Whilst underwriting can continue, mortgage offers and completions on all properties in Scotland must be paused. This is as a result of the Scottish Land Registry closing, and therefore no new lender charges are currently able to be registered.
------------------------------------------------------------------
30/03/2020 - Further product changes
Kent Reliance - Due to the unprecedented demand from our existing customers regarding payment holidays, latest government advice and the current situation with valuations, we have taken the decision to temporarily suspend new applications for all of our product lines and divert our resources to support our borrowers during this challenging time.
To facilitate this, we will be removing access to our online application system from Friday 27th March.
Precise Mortgages - Due to the unprecedented demand from our existing customers regarding payment holidays, latest government advice and the current situation with valuations, we have taken the decision to temporarily suspend new applications for all of our product lines and divert our resources to support our borrowers during this challenging time.

Pepper - currently undergoing assessment of cases in the pipeline to see if they can still lend to them
Kensington - As you know, surveyors are unable to offer internal valuations at this time. We are exploring an alternative valuation solution but this will not be suitable for our full product range. As a result, and to be fair to you and your customers, we are withdrawing, with immediate effect, a number of products that we know will not be covered by this solution and that we are therefore unable to make offers on today. We hope to reinstate these products once physical valuations can restart.
- We have reduced our maximum LTV on all products (both residential and BTL) to 70%. Whilst sourcing systems may still indicate we are open to applications at 75% LTV we will only consider loans at 70% LTV or below
- We have reduced the maximum property value to 1m,
across both Residential and Buy to Let
- Withdrawal of all New Build products including Help to Buy
- Withdrawal of Later Life
- Withdrawal of HMO/MUB
- We have extended our property exclusions. Please check our Lending Criteria online for the full list
- All pipeline cases ALREADY in receipt of a valuation will continue as usual
- Pipeline cases below 70% LTV without a valuation will proceed as and when we have an alternative valuation solution
- Pipeline cases above 70% LTV without a valuation will regrettably be cancelled as we will have no valuation solution until internal valuations resume
Masthaven - making the following changes (DIP by 5.30pm TONIGHT):
- First charge residential products - MB0/MB1 maximum LTV now 75%, MB2 no longer available
- First charge buy to let products - Specialist Property - no longer available / Specialist Landlord/Tenant - no longer available

------------------------------------------------------------------
27/03/2020 - What we know - Residential
In the current climates, things are changing quickly. We have tried to summarise as below (these will be updated real time):
RESIDENTIAL / BUY TO LET
Bluestone - No physical valuations being completed until further notice. We are working on alternative solutions and will provide a further update as soon as possible. In the meantime, we are very much open for business as normal. We will prioritise those applications where the valuation has already been completed. All new applications will be processed and underwritten as normal, then held awaiting the valuation and our final assessment. We now have everyone working from home and the business is operating as normal, with the exception of us being able to send out offers to customers by post. Please could you forward to the Mortgage Offer and other documents to your customer.
Dudley - The Society has made the difficult decision to temporarily withdraw our mortgage product range for new applications with immediate effect. We will be contacting all of our partners to discuss the position of applications that are in the pipeline on a case by case basis and any pre offer applications will continue to be progressed up to the point of valuation. We ask that you keep us updated with any changes to your clients circumstances. Not taking other calls
Fleet - No valuations and no facility to do an AVM. If there are any changes with this they will let us know. All products limited to 60% LTV
Foundation Home Loans - We cannot currently accept Automated Valuations, Desk top or Drive by valuations. We are investigating viable alternatives, but in the meantime we will be unable to instruct new valuations until further notice.
Kensington - At this time, surveyors are unable to offer their standard valuations. We are working on a solution and considering the best options available, however please be aware that cases without a valuation cannot proceed to Offer until a valuation has been carried out.

have a solution

have a solution
Masthaven - can do an AVM on max val of 150k with 75% LTV,
THEY ARE STILL ABLE TO DO FULL VALS BUT MAY TAKE LONGER THAN USUAL
Pepper Money - In common with many other lenders, physical valuations will now not take place in the next 3 weeks, the initial review period announced by the Government. As a result, there will be a number of customers who will have received a call cancelling their valuation appointment and who will be keen to understand what will happen next. Customers will have the choice of either receiving a refund of their fees if they no longer wish to proceed with their application, or instructing Pepper Money to continue with the application, accepting that the physical valuation will not be carried out for at least the next three weeks at which point we propose to review and contact the customer again. No facility to do an AVM at this time.

In the current climates, things are changing quickly. We have tried to summarise as below (these will be updated real time):
BRIDGING
Hampshire Trust - At the moment, any properties which have already been inspected will be reported back in the usual way. However, any properties yet to be inspected will be placed on hold and our panel manager will liaise with each client as to how those cases should be progressed.
However, we can still do a considerable amount prior to the valuation being received. All documents can be reviewed and new enquires can be responded to in readiness for when that valuation lands on our desk. This preparation will allow you and your clients to hit ground running as soon as things return to normal.
Interbay - As it stands at the moment no decision has been made as a business we are obviously looking at options and will update you when we are in a position to do so.
Masthaven - looking at AVM model, and will consider re-types
MT Finance - will consider re-type
Octane - We are currently reviewing our options and working on an alternate yet suitable solution and as soon as we have worked that out, we will be shouting from the rooftops because we still have good appetite to lend and are still completing deals!
Octopus - Unfortunately, at this moment in time we would not be able to offer desktop valuations, however, with everything going on we are constantly reviewing our processes so this would be subject to change.
Precise - AVMs up to 50% LTV and up to 1m
Single unit residential property / Maximum value 600k / Maximum LTV and minimum confidence levels for capital value within certain parameters / England and Wales only / No property above or adjoining commercial premises / Freehold or minimum unexpired 85 years leasehold / No converted flats / No new build property built within last 24 months / Report is valid for 6 months / Rental income should be taken from the lower of passing and AVM rental value for DSCR purposes

24/03/2020 - Together halt lending
In
light of the above, the evolving situation across the country in respect to
COVID 19, the Governments and/or regulators current or future responses to
tackling the situation, and to provide clear, effective direction to our
business partners, we have made the following decisions:
|
- For a temporary period, effective immediately, we will not accept any new applications across our product range. |
|
- We are prioritising those applications already in the pipeline that are for purchases and specifically on those where the borrower has already exchanged contracts. |
|
- Our pre-offer pipeline is currently being reviewed whilst we assess the market environment and our lending criteria. |
Together as a lender has been supporting customers for over 45 years, through many challenging environments, and will continue to do so. Today we feel that supporting our existing customers through these difficult times is the prudent and sensible thing to do and has to be our priority.
The
situation will remain under constant review and our teams will remain in close
contact to ensure that you are kept as up to date as possible during this
period.
------------------------------------------------------------------
24/03/2020 - Foundation unable to survey
From Foundation - In response to the curfew imposed by the government last night, key valuation partners have announced that they are to suspend physical inspection of properties until further notice.

10/06/2019 - New 5yr fixed from FHL
Remortgage
activity has long proved a vital revenue stream for intermediaries within the
buy-to-let sector. Particularly in recent times as the increase in stamp duty
charges for additional property owners has impacted the number of new
purchases, a trend which shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.
A
recent study by Foundation Home Loans undertaken by BVA BDRC suggested that
nearly a third of all landlords took out a remortgage last year, and a similar
number are expected to remortgage in the next 12 months. And, with more
landlords looking for additional security and greater longer term stability
over their payments, the launch of the Foundation Home Loans five year fixed
rate remortgage special is bound to prove attractive for your BTL clients.
The new mortgage is part of Foundations Tier 1 product range and can be accessed by first time landlords, non portfolio and portfolio landlords.
The five year fixed rate remortgage special is priced at 3.59% up to 65% LTV, and 3.89% up to 75% LTV. The product comes with a flat fee of 2,995 and ERCs of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%. It also comes with one FREE standard valuation and 250 cashback upon completion.
Do you have any clients looking for a remortgage special? Please call us!------------------------------------------------------------------

13/03/2019 - Magellan Stop Lending.
.gif)
From the lender - "Today, Magellan Homeloans, the specialist mortgage lender, announced
that it has taken the decision to close for new business.
In response to competitive pressures the business has recently seen a number of
lenders reducing mortgage loan interest rates and increasing credit risk
despite increased funding costs. Viewing this as unsustainable Magellan has
reluctantly taken this decision, having considered a number of alternative
options.
Magellan will cease accepting new business with immediate effect. However, it
will continue to honour unexpired mortgage offers, although these will not be
extended or materially varied.
Decisions in principle and applications in the pipeline will not be progressed
any further. Mortgage applicants who have paid administration or valuation fees
to Magellan but who have not received a mortgage offer will have those fees
refunded."
For further information, please contact the team and we will see if we can assist.

We are hoping you have noticed our fresh and dynamic new brand! But in case you missed the press releases:
AToM, the specialist mortgage broker and distributor has announced that, from January 2019, it will change its operating brand to impact specialist finance. This comes after the family run business, which is moving into its 28th year in 2019, has entered into an agreement with Atom bank.
Founder and chairman, Vic Jannels, said, "We have enjoyed many successful years operating in the specialist mortgage distribution sector. During the last few years we have traded alongside the bank as we mostly operate in differing areas of the mortgage marketplace. Our change of brand has been embraced by the whole AToM team and we are ready to make an impact, through impact specialist finance, in the New Year. Our offering to the market will remain exactly as it is today plus we expect to have many new and different lender products available too."
Dale Jannels, Managing Director, added "It is sad to lose the very well-known AToM name as it has served us incredibly well over the last 27 years. But change is good. We sat down and looked at all the things we do, which include Insurances, Mortgages, Protection And Creative Technology, so the new name is right on the money. This is an exciting new era and having a fresh, dynamic, eye catching new brand in impact, will be a great start to 2019"

22/03/2018 - AToMs Case of the Day
One of our clients - a
father and son - were looking to make a residential purchase on a property with
lots of land. However a well known supermarket chain had sprayed old meat over
many years on the surrounding land of this property making it difficult to
place for high street and specialist lenders. The client was declined 6 times before
speaking to the AToM sales team!
Fortunately this is where we could help! We were eventually able to place their
case with a helpful building society on an Interest Only 2.29% 3 Year Discounted
rate with a 1.50%
arrangement fee. This was completed quickly and to the customers relief!
Remember if you have a case you are struggling to place please call the AToM sales
team and see how we can help!

26/01/2018 - AToM Complete Complex 1.8m Developer Exit Loan!
Our client wished to raise finance against 2 remaining flats on a newly
completed development, to repay VC partners within the Ltd Company. The Ltd
company ownership was restructured upon completion of the deal, with the loan
secured against the Freehold of the property.
We requested a 1.8m loan against the 2.85m value of the property, which Octane agreed
on a rate of 0.79%.
Octane proceeded to application swiftly and were ready to fund within 9 days of
application - right before Christmas! The client delayed completion until the
New Year, while tax advice was finalised.
