The lender has introduced a combination of eleven new offerings as part of its continued drive to increase the breadth and depth of choice it can offer to borrowers and brokers.
The most significant changes focus on new criteria applied to applications from those with Skilled Worker, Health and Care and UK Ancestry VISAs. Those borrowers that have lived in the UK for a minimum of 24 months and possess recent credit history will be able to apply for loans of up to 90% LTV.
Alongside this, West One has also widened its AVM criteria to include remortgage, unencumbered and transfer of equity applications for loans of up to £300,000. They have also increased the maximum property value up to £1 million and made that available up to 70% LTV (subject to minimum confidence levels).
The move further enhances West One's existing fast-track remortgage process which offers legal services from on-site solicitors with average completion times of 11 days from offer.
A summary of other highlights include:
Marie Grundy, Managing Director of Residential Mortgages and Second Charges at West One Loans, says: "The mortgage market is dynamic and ever-changing. In the current climate our borrowers need a lender that can be flexible and sensible in equal measure.
"We are always analysing the market carefully and listening to our customers to see that they need and how we can provide it. After careful consideration we have found yet more ways, we can enhance our offering to help real people get the mortgage they need to match their own circumstances.
"At West One we are aiming for growth, and to help us on that journey, we are building a product set designed to meet the changing needs of our brokers and borrowers."
