Interest Only plans:

Buster Tolfree, director – mortgages, United Trust Bank, said: “We’ve seen increasing demand for larger mortgage sizes catering for customers with circumstances which don’t fit the High Street’s restrictive credit criteria. This increase to a £750,000 maximum loan size demonstrates the confidence we have in our more pragmatic approach to underwriting which is about looking at a customer’s overall situation rather than dismissing them for a blip or two on their credit history.

“This increase, together with our recent introduction of online DIPs and auto-underwriting, will further help brokers to place and complete more complex cases quickly and successfully.”
