Where this is really special and exciting is it goes all the way up to 90% loan-to-value i.e. just a 10% deposit.
The change means the lender could now provide a first-time buyer couple with a joint employed income of £50,000 a mortgage of £275,000, rather than the £225,000.
This offer is currently limited to “employed” applicants.
As with all mortgages; the 5.5 times mortgage should be discussed first with a professional mortgage advisory firm such as Niche Advice Limited to make sure it is affordable.
