Franco Di Pietro (pictured), head of intermediary mortgages at Newcastle Intermediaries, said: “We’re always listening to broker feedback and looking for ways to improve our product and proposition offer. We’re especially keen to support first time buyers and low-deposit borrowers so I’m confident these changes, including the removal of reservation fees, will give brokers and their clients a great range of options.”
