If you have clients struggling to remortgage to a new lender due to not meeting the affordability assessments – read on!

Ahead of the FCA’s consultation on mortgage prisoners we’re the first lender to utilise existing regulation to help existing borrowers who may be struggling to remortgage away from their current lender, with five new like-for-like deals on offer.

Under the like-for-like rules we can offer an affordability assessment based on product pay rate only, with no need for a stressed rate calculation. This could mean the mortgage may now be deemed more affordable than when applying the additional stressed rate.

Our like-for-like remortgages are available to borrowers who:

  • Have been with their current lender for at least two years
  • Have good credit and have kept up to date with their repayments
  • Are not borrowing more
  • Have a maximum 4.5 income ratio
  • Have no material changes to their mortgage (eg term, repayment type, borrowers)

The following products are currently on offer:

  • Residential 80% LTV 2-year fixed @ 2.80%
  • Residential 80% LTV 2-year discount @ 2.55% pay rate
  • Later Life (50+) 75% LTV 2-year fixed @ 2.75%
  • Later Life (50+) 75% LTV 2-year discount @ 2.50% pay rate
  • Shared Ownership 90% Share 2-year fixed @ 3.25%

Don’t forget, we lend on properties throughout England and Wales, with no maximum age and up to 40-year terms offered as standard on all our products.
