Mortgage Strategy quarterly lender survey: has anyone found the right mix of rates and service?
The scene is set for what promises to be an eventful year in the mortgage market as Mortgage Strategy reveals the results of its latest quarterly lender survey. The first two months of 2016 have not disappointed as an opening act, with the sector on the edge of its seat watching the arrival of a new, controversial self-cert lender and listening attentively to talk of more mainstream lenders in the pipeline.
But how did lenders fare in the past three months? Did they let their standards slip during the festive celebrations, or use the time to make amends for failures in previous quarters?
Trinity Financial product and communications manager Aaron Strutt says Santander For Intermediaries is on form at the moment and its whole process is simple and efficient.
“It would be great to have another seven-day exclusive as they tend to cause a lot of excitement,” he adds.
Mr Strutt also says: “NatWest’s rates are still very competitively priced and it is popular with our brokers. It is still the go-to lender for expats and I know that brokers really appreciate its support for this part of the market.”
