Louisa Sedgwick, Director of Sales – mortgages, commented: “We have quickly established ourselves as a lender with an appetite for specialist residential and buy-to-let business, and these changes should ensure that we remain very competitive in this important segment of the buy-to-let market. We already had some great criteria in areas such as limited companies and SPVs, flats above commercial premises and HMOs up to 8 bedrooms. Now we have even more competitive pricing too.”
