The Bank launched into specialist mortgages last year by enhancing its criteria for buy-to-let lending. Since then, Metro Bank has released a range of significant product and process upgrades such as launching a near prime residential mortgages range – remaining the only high street lender offering these mortgages – as well as other enhancements including rate reductions, entering the 95% LTV market and expanding its professional mortgages range.
Tony Davis, Head of Mortgages at Metro Bank, comments: “In line with our specialist strategy, Metro Bank is pleased to offer significant rate reductions across our 75% LTV products whilst further expanding our 95% LTV range as well. These changes will help us continue to assist our increasing range of customers and is a good example of us listening and responding to customer and broker feedback.”
