FOUNDATION HOME LOANS LAUNCHES 3 NEW BRANDS WITH REDUCED RATES OUT
As of today, Tuesday 23rd January, Foundation Home Loans have announced the launch of ‘Solutions by Foundation’, a new suite of broad and specialist criteria and products for an additional layer of specialist buy-to-let needs, covering multi-occupancy properties, mixed-use property (part-commercial) and expat borrowers.
As part of this change – with the splitting of the product ranges into three distinct channels: buy-to-let, owner-occupied and ‘Solutions’ – Foundation has changed its Sales teams to specifically align with each of the three.
In doing this, it said it would be able to better support advisers’ specific needs within that sector, and furthermore by driving the development of its technology in order to tailor the adviser experience to the type of business being written.
Alongside the new product suite launch, Foundation has introduced a number of other changes, including a widening of its ‘early remortgage’ criteria which is now applicable across the majority of its buy-to-let and ‘Solutions’ ranges, meaning they will consider cases where the property has been owned for less than six months.
Foundation has also made changes to its valuation and application fees, moving the application fee to £199 and making significant reductions to the valuation fee scale which it believes will positively impact a large number of customers across both its buy-to-let and owner-occupied ranges.
