Northern Rock plc has launched a new &lta href=&quothttps://www.northernrock.co.uk/mortgages/&quot&gtconsumer-facing website&lt/a&gt.

It offers guides for homebuyers, whether a first-time buyer, an existing Northern Rock customer, are looking at moving lenders or moving house, or are thinking about investments.

For those looking more closely into buying a property, the ‘Find a Mortgage’ section contains information about Northern Rock’s range of products, and budget and mortgage calculators.

It also offers the ability for people to apply online.

Anth Mooney, marketing director at Northern Rock, said: “The new website is a fantastic tool we hope has enhanced and simplified the end-to-end house-buying process for customers.
