Important information on our mortgage products – new application deadline
On Wednesday 27 January 2021 we’ll be withdrawing and replacing our current mortgage products.
We will accept applications for all withdrawn products through our Mortgage Hub, or by paper, up to and including 5pm on Monday 1 February 2021. This means that any paper applications will need to be fully completed and sent to us ahead of this deadline in order to be received in time.
We will be refreshing our Owner Occupier product range, with a small increase to rates, and introducing specific Joint Mortgage Sole Owner products. We are also repricing some of our Buy to Let rates and introducing new Buy to Let Limited Company products. Completion deadlines for fixed rate products will be extended.
Full details of the new product range will be announced on 27 January 2021.
We have a team of BDMs ready, willing and able to answer any of your queries and guide you through the application process. If you don’t have a BDM in your area, you can contact our dedicated Mortgage Desk.
January 2021 mortgage product refresh – approved semi exclusive sheets
We have reviewed our current product range and made a few adjustments to the broker direct rates plus the semi exclusive deals that you currently have access to. We have seen a large increase in owner occupier and BTL business producing a record pipeline for the Society. The rates have been tweaked to reflect this and to help us provide effective service levels. Please find above the semi exclusive rate sheet flyer showing the new semi exclusive rates.
Highlights include for our semi exclusive products:
- Expat BTL rates remain unchanged with 5 year fixed rates starting at 3.69% with 1% arrangement fee.
- UK BTL rates remain unchanged with 5 year fixed rates starting at 3.24% with a flat £999 fee.
- New product *** BTL Ltd Co with 5 year fixed rates starting at 3.39% with a flat £999 fee – we have also removed the minimum £100,000 loan size.
We have increased the owner occupier interest only products by 0.05% for the 2 year fixed and by 0.1% for the 5 year fixed.
Other major changes to note:
We will now no longer offer free in house legal services and instead offer a £500 cashback for all owner occupier re-mortgages which can be put towards the legal costs (we will continue to process existing cases with our in house legal team)
Completion deadline for the new fixed rate products is 1/7/2021
A reminder – Full applications will be accepted on the existing products up until 5pm Monday 1 February by either paper or via the Mortgage Hub. These new products will go live from 12pm today
