With the summer holidays now behind us, I hope you were able to take a break and are feeling refreshed and recharged. Here’s the latest weekly round-up.

Clydesdale Bank reductions

We reduced rates on a number of products across our Core, Professional, and Newly Qualified Professional ranges last week. You’ll now find selected products at 80%–90% LTV reduced by as much as 0.28%. Take a look at our website to check all our latest rates.

Virgin Money deals

Have you spotted our competitive 75% LTV BTL deals? They’re available from 1.64% with £995 fee, and purchases come with cashback and remortgages come with free valuations plus free legals or cashback.

Be sure also to check out our 85% LTV residential purchase options. We’ve got Exclusive products with £1,000 cashback available from 1.83% with £1,495 fee, and we’ve got Greener products—for new builds with an ‘A’ or ‘B’ EPC, SAP, or PEA certification—from 1.74% with £995 fee and £300 cashback.

See all our products in our Mortgage Update.

Our Telephony BDM’s number may have changed

We’ve updated our phone lines, which means the phone number for your Telephone BDM may have changed. You’ll need the new number to stay in touch, so please check our BDM Finder to make sure you’ve got the right one saved.

Building greener

The push to go green has definitely reached homebuilders, with 85% of new builds given energy-efficiency ratings of ‘A’ or ‘B’ in recent months. Brush up on what this means for you and your customers by reading our latest article.
