THE SPECIALIST RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE 'STATE OF THE NATION'

March has seen a plethora of new products, some of which exclusives, from our various lender partners including Pepper, Vida, Kensington and Kent Reliance.  The trend has been towards the higher LTV market as well as products that cater for clients with heavier adverse credit profiles.

New exclusive product

The new residential mortgage product from Kent Reliance, exclusively available via selected partners, targets near prime clients with a LTV up to 90% and rates starting from 3.19%.

The product ignores missed mortgage payments over 12 months old, as long as they’re currently up to date.  In addition, communication bill performance is ignored if the balance is below £500.  The product is available for first time buyers and the new range has seen the introduction of 1 years accounts for the self-employed, which now includes non-professional applicants.  Contractors are no longer subject to minimum income requirements.

Clients in DMPs

We now have access to a brand new product range that is targeted at clients who require a residential mortgage up to 85% LTV, but are in an active debt management plan.  The client is able to keep the DMP in place, or subject to status, can capital raise to clear it.  The product range also has solutions for clients with previous repossessions/discharged bankruptcy/IVA.
