Bob Young, Chief Executive Officer of Fleet Mortgages, commented:
“It is with great pleasure that we can officially announce this first Fleet Mortgages’ buy-to-let product range which is specifically for the intermediary market and has been designed in collaboration with many adviser stakeholders. Our aim has been to deliver a competitive product range which focuses on the needs of the experienced landlord. Plus we have not only developed products for individuals but have also sought to offer a range which caters for, what we think, is an underserved section of borrowers – namely limited companies and HMOs.
“The products have been designed with simplicity in mind and with consistency across the piece in terms of, for example, fee levels and ERCs. Our criteria has also been established in order for us to be absolutely clear about what we will accept and what we won’t. The countdown to launch has now begun and we will be opening the Fleet Mortgages’ doors soon. We have been overwhelmed by the positive response we have received from the intermediary community and we are now looking forward to providing them with the very highest quality of service. Fleet Mortgages is firmly situated on the starting grid and the lights are about to turn green.”
