Product Information
We offer a broad range of Residential, Buy-To-Let (BTL) and Second Charge Mortgages designed to accommodate customers who require a more specialist approach, that is underserved by mainstream lenders’ criteria.
Our Residential Mortgages are available to those looking to purchase a new home, or to remortgage an existing loan or to release capital for a variety of uses including from a currently unmortgaged property.
Similarly, our BTL products cater for landlords looking to purchase new investment property, or remortgage for a variety of reasons, and can be secured against many non-standard property types including HMO and MUBs.
Our Second Charge products allow customers to release capital from their home without having to remortgage. This may be particularly useful if the borrowers’ wish to keep their existing first charge mortgage because it benefits from advantageous interest rates or terms, or if they have had a change in circumstances since taking their original mortgage out.
