PRODUCT WITHDRAWALS AND KEY CUT-OFFS

The lender has confirmed that a number of exclusives and incentives will be withdrawn at 8pm today, Monday 8 December. These include the 85% LTV five-year fixed exclusive with a £895 fee at 4.17%, which will come off the market this evening.

Retrofit Boost deals will be withdrawn from the exclusive purchase, exclusive remortgage and exclusive buy-to-let ranges. In addition, Own New deals will be withdrawn from the exclusive purchase range.

Brokers submitting applications for any of the products being withdrawn are being asked to ensure that full applications are received by Virgin Money by 8pm today.

The lender has also highlighted an important deadline for cases where a previously submitted product transfer is due to complete on 31 December 2025. In these instances, any request to switch the product must reach Virgin Money no later than 10 December 2025.

Product switch requests received after that date for accounts completing on 31 December 2025 will be rejected, as they would result in the customer making a standard variable rate payment in January.
