"We listen carefully to all the feedback we get from brokers, and some told us that their clients would welcome the extra ‘breathing space’ of longer mortgage offers."
The Society has also launched a new online Decision in Principle service. If a DIP submission is received before 2pm, Leek United will respond the same day, or the following day after 2pm.
Clare Beardmore, the Society’s head of mortgage sales, said: “We listen carefully to all the feedback we get from brokers, and some told us that their clients would welcome the extra ‘breathing space’ of longer mortgage offers.
“Providing the best possible level of service for brokers is top of our priority list, which is why we have responded by increasing our offer period to six months.”
